Does anyone make a good program for downloading comics, like iComic , but for the PC?

I use dailystrips under Linux. It's just a Perl script that grabs the proper images and formats them into a clean HTML page. The documentation says "Running on Win32 is also possible."

I use Opera. It has Commando Folder Mass Open capabilities. So I've got my umpteen comics in one folder, and I click that folder, and -- whammo! -- the comics are downloaded all in one swell foop.

Same applies for my world news, geek news, once-a-day blogs, and stock quotes. Makes for a killer efficient system.

one swell foop

If that was a typo, it was a brilliant one.
