Funny Pages Feed?
Y'know what I need? I need a website that will allow me to collect all my bestest On-Line Comic Strips on to one page for perusal, not unlike my Friends Page here on LJ only with actual images instead of just links to the hosting website.
If there were a page where I could go, set up and account and then just point-and-click "Ooh I'd like that one and that one and this one and..." and then I'd have a "Home Page" where the latest strip from each comic I chose would update automatically... I'd be more than willing to endure mountains of banner ads and targeted spam. And added features would include a simple "Stop Subscription" button and a "If you like this comic, why not try..." button below each comic. Oh, and of course each comic strip would be a link to the originating sight where you could connect with fans, buy merchandise, etc.
But as it is now, I can't find a service like that. The only way to find out about new comic strips I like is to hear of it word-of-mouth (or word-of-blog) and then go to the site and hope they have an RSS feed and then hope that they upload their daily strip instead of a "A new daily comic strip is available at http://www.thecomicyouwishwasinfrontofyourightnow.dissapointment.right-click/openinnewtab/forgettillafteryoudontcare.html"
So anybody know of a site like that?
ADDITIONAL THOUGHT: It has to be lucrative enough for the creator to forgo his or her already established website. Profit sharing for all the creators, based upon total subscriptions/total views. Should be relatively easy to set-up, right? Artists could start a feed for free; no cost to them, no cost to me. The traditional "Starving Artist" type (and I know quite a few) who are doing their strips out of pure love of cartooning would have nothing to lose and everything to gain from the exposure.
Have to visit Keenspot.com and see if they have anything going on like this yet...
