			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Comics that are posted daily as part of a newspaper and published online at the same time put some strain on users who want to view several of them. These comics are usually placed on individual pages of a website which means that the user has to click and load the next page when he wants to view another comic. </p>
<p>He might even need to navigate to another part of the website to view different comics that are posted there. That&#8217;s not very user friendly and <a href="http://www.zahniser.net/software/mirth/index.html">Mirth</a> is the solution for every comic buff. </p>
<p>First of all it&#8217;s Open Source and available for Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. It&#8217;s also portable at least on Windows &#8211; the version that I tried. Mirth needs to be unpacked to a directory and can be started right from that directory.</p>
<p><span id="more-5602"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mirth-500x211.jpg" alt="mirth" title="mirth" width="500" height="211" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5603" /></p>
<p>The software displays the first comic immediately after startup and new users will be a bit lost because there are no apparent controls or menus available at that point. Everything is handled by the keyboard, here are the most helpful keyboard shortcuts.</p>
<p>Left and Right switch to the next and previous day of the current comic. Up and Down switches to another comic, space scrolls a comic if its dimensions are not fitting on the screen, esc quits Mirth and Tab loads the next day of the next comic.</p>
<p>The new version which is planned to be released in two months will introduce choice to the user. He can pick the comments that he wants to view from a list which is definitely a welcome feature to avoid comics that you do not want to view in Mirth.</p>
