it no longer works, it just keeps displaying same garfield avatar image, altough if i go to website i can see new comics coming. probably some website change. could anyone fix this?
The file extension have changed to jpg since 2011 on Sundays. Go to .kde/share/apps/plasma/comics/garfield/contents/code/main.es and edit fileName assignment in the getComic() method:
var extension = ".gif";
if (comic.identifier.year() >= 2011 && comic.identifier.dayOfWeek() == 7)
extension = ".jpg";
var fileName = "ga" + comic.identifier.toString("yyMMdd") + extension;

Anything on this page to report such fixes?
Thanks for the patch. :) I slightly modified it and now both old and new strips should work again.
When I first installed the Garfield comic strip it worked on Sundays, but recently it has stopped displaying them. Any ideas?
Actually, it displays the Sunday comic strip up to the 26/12/2010. After that date it displays other weekdays, but not Sundays.

Thanks, That now works.
Latest version works, you just need to update via "Get new comics" for "Installed" ones.
