Calvin & Hobbes RSS Feed

I recently stumbled upon Tapestry. I like the idea — RSS feeds for comics. (In particular the feed for Dilbert.)

As they didn’t have one for Calvin & Hobbes (my personal favorite of all time) and I’ve been poking at RSS recently, I decided to throw one together:

http://wdr1.com/blog/calvin_and_hobbes.rdf

Of course, it’s totally dependent upon how the official site builds their URLs, and if they ever change that, expect this to break as well. The code to create it was remarkably simple, but if anyone is interested, you can snag it here:
