Actually, as I have pointed out before (but was ignored), UserFriendly
explicitly prohibit what is going on:
http://www.userfriendly.org/faq/
Q. Is it okay if I 'webscrape' or pull down the comic with a script?
A. Such programs that allow a user to view comics owned by User
Friendly.Org are unauthorized; and such activities constitute copyright
infringement, unfair competition and trademark infringement, rendering
the owner and/or user of such programs liable for damages. In short, no.
I suspect that several of the other comics are the same.
