just add the following to your crontab and run it at whatever time you'd like, or you can add it to your ~user/.bashrc and then run when you'd like from the shell.
crontab:
Code:
wget http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/`date '+%Y'`/ga`date '+%y%m%d'`.gif
~uid/.bashrc:
Code:
garfield() {
## fetch the daily garfield comic from ucomics.com
wget http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/`date '+%Y'`/ga`date '+%y%m%d'`.gif
}
