The Darkgate Comic Slurper

I believe I found out about The Darkgate Comic Slurper from Andy Ihnatko on the MacBreak Weekly podcast (months or maybe even years back). It is now my daily comics page.

Like Instapaper, there's nothing to install on my MacBook Air, but it does need to be configured for each now browser one uses it with. (I assume one's configuration for each browser is stored on the server but identified by a cookie.) Configuring is simply a matter of clicking on the red buttons beside the comics you wish to be automatically displayed in the web page in the future.

Here's the ones I read:
The Darkgate Comic Slurper allows me to read all these without going to each respective web page. (Unfortunately that means they don't get advertising revenue from me.) I do go to xkcd.com every time I see a new XKCD comic though, because I like to read the tool-tip.

The one comic that I'd like to see included in The Darkgate Comic Slurper is Tom Tomorrow's This Modern Life. I've suggested it (by pressing the Suggest button), but I guess I should take "It can take days/weeks/months or even years for new comics to appear here, so please be patient." to heart.

Are there any comics on The Darkgate Comic Slurper that I don't read that you recommend?
