To begin, browse the ten-foot long shopping list of comics on the left and mark the ones you wish to read as Favorites from the right-click menu. Once you have marked your favorites, those will be available under ‘My favorite comics’ drop down menu at the top. You can now press F6 to start checking for updates on your selected comics.

Colored icons will appear against the titles of the comics indicating availability and read-status. Usually, the comic strips for the day are downloaded but some comics allow you to download strips from the previous days as well. These are indicated by orange navigation button at the top.

The Welcome screen on the program describes how to use it and what each icon indicates. This welcome screen is the default page that remains visible when you are not reading any comics, and you can quickly refer to it any time.
