Dinosaur Comics is a humorous comic about talking dinosaurs. It was created by Ryan North and can be viewed freely at www.qwantz.com.

The add-on source can be found here: https://github.com/macica2/plugin.image.qwantz

I received permission from the comic's creator, Ryan North, to create this add-on. Since his site has no service in place to run queries and receive comic data, I had to parse the site's HTML to get the images, alt text, dates, and so on.

I tested the add-on on Windows 7 64-bit and Android 7 both running Kodi 17.6.

To display a comic's alt text, I followed the XKCD add-on as a reference and set the alt text as the "description" property on the comic item. This seems to only be visible if the user is using the shift viewtype. The description also gets cut off if it's too long. Is this the best way to display custom text for a picture?

Let me know if you think the folder structure I used isn't intuitive when doing things like viewing random comics or clicking the previous and next arrows.

I'm not a Python developer, so if you think my code badly violates the standards then let me know how I can fix it.

Thanks for any feedback!
