Comical is a comic downloader and viewer that utilizes a custom-built framework for the parsing and downloading of comics from websites. The framework uses an open XML format that allows anyone to add support for additional comics.

There is full support for comic archiving and browsing. If archiving is enabled (within the Settings window), Comical will archive any downloaded comics; these comics can then be browsed as required via the navigation buttons located in the top-right of the main application window.

The original version of Comical was merely a testing harness used for creating the framework that powered the main web-comic download and parsing functionality; version 0.90 Alpha has since had its interface completely rewritten to be more user-friendly and will continue to be improved upon in future updates.
