it takes about 5 seconds for the picture to open in browser, which is quite long though still nice.

to make it more user friendly, I still wanna suggest the foreca weather widget way. if it would open up in a app, it could also have all the functions as the widget. Meaning prev/next other comic and so on. lot more work though, so I'm not trying to tell you to try make it. would just be shiny :P
