Usage:

strip-tease.sh [days]


Description:

strip-tease.sh script downloads daily comic strips from the various websites. It will download
today's comics if there is no argument, or otherwise will download comics from last "days" days 
and today. Be careful about the time of the day you start the script. Most of the strips come
online at the morning US time, so if you are in some other timezone make sure you do the 
necessary changes in the script.


Directories:
All the comics get downloaded in "~/strips-self" directory. Inside "~/strips-self" directory the script
creates 2 sub-directories viz. "strips" and "date". All the strips get downloaded in their respective
directories in "strip" directory with respective dates as their names. Script also creates hard links to 
all the strips in the "date" directory. So if you want to see all strips for today, go inside "date" directory 
and in today's date. And if you want to see all the strips of a particular comics, go inside "strips" directory.


Example:

strip-tease.sh :  downloads todays comics
strip-tese.sh 1 : downloads yesterday's and today's comics
