    Other than going one by one and saving them individually, no. There isn't.

    Yeah that's pretty much what I did over the course of a year or so. I'm several months behind now. I put them in a folder in my pictures and now I have an entertaining screensaver that my guests often just sit down and watch.

    Unfortunately, comics are often missing from the archives (the Strawberry Shortcake one for legal reasons though it can still be found). I think AlphaMonkey went and fixed a ton of those a couple months back, so they should mostly all be there.

    Removed the code I posted, if you understand scrapping or wget it is not hard to grab all the pictures.

    A note, particularly re: the program. Khoo and co. may not want you doing this because it cuts down on page views (specifically ad views), which is how PA makes its money.

    Also I believe at least a couple of times the name format of the image changed, like when they switch from having high/low options.
    But, going through and downloading them all isn't that bad. 15-20 minutes of reading old favorites a day for a could weeks should do it.
