Could we have a new applet to read daily comic rss's. Displaying the comic on screen, similar to the comic applet on awn.

An rss feed.
The awn one had some built in ones like Garfield etc. But the ability to add your own rss, and be able to select the strip from the feed was really useful.
It also allowed you to reposition the strips on the screen so they always opened in the same place, all the strips at a time.

sample rss: http://feedproxy.google.com/uclick/garfield
You can see there are a lot of pics on there but only one strip we are interested in.

Awn code here https://github.com/p12tic/awn-extras/tree/master/applets/maintained/comics don't know if you can mod/use it at all.

Hello,

Did you try the RSSReader applet? But I'm not sure that it will display images (and I'm not able to test it right now)

Just tried it, it only accepts ONE rss, and only displays the feeds not the content.
I would like to have between 5-8 active.

Well the ability to see the resultant comics from several feeds on screen at once.
So I can view all the comics at the same time rather than sequentially. If that makes sense?
