Dosage

Dosage is an application that keeps a local "mirror" of specific Web comics, with a variety of options for naming schemes and updating options.

Dosage project supports a recursive "catch-up" method, where it traverses a comic by essentially visiting previous comics and picking out the comics. An ever growing number of Web comics are available to satisfy your addiction.
