# xkcd-comics
XKCD is a popular geek webcomic with a website full of interesting comics. The front page at http://xkcd.com/ has 'prev' and 'next' buttons that guide the user back and forth through the comics. Downloading each comic manually would take forever, but with this script it's just a matter of seconds ( depending on your internet speed ).
### Some sample comic:
## Language used
- 🐍 Python
### Setup required 🛠
- Most of the stuff is plain Python scripts which will only require you to have **Python installed on your device** and an **IDE/text editor** to see and make changes to the scripts on your system.
- If you don't have Python on your machine, you can download it from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
