There is a webcomic called strong female protagonist that i want to persevere(in case the website is ever lost) but not sure how.

The image you see above is not a webpage of the site but rather a drop-down like menu. There is a web crawler called WFDownloader(that i am using the window’s exe file inside bottles)that can grab images and can follow links, grab images “N” number of pages down but since this a drop-down menu i am not sure it will work

There also the issue of organizing the images. WFDownloader doesn’t have options for organizing.

What i am thinking about, is somehow translating the html for the drop-down menu into separate xml file based on issues/titles, run a script to download the images, have each image named after its own hyperlink and have each issue in its own folder. Later on i can create a stitch-up version of the each issues.

    wget -a website.url

    It’s probably better not to try to preserve webcomics. It’s like the only bad form of art.

      That a bizzare take, why? From the sound of it you dont hate comics in general, what about them being on the web makes them “bad”?

      Anyways, that honour goes to any podcast by any who calls themeself a comedian.
