Newspaper Comics Apps

Since I no longer subscribe to a newspaper I don't get a chance to read a lot of my favorite comic strips. I know some can be found through Google searches or various newspapers but it would be nice if there was an app that can put all the comics in one places so I could select which ones I want to read daily and then use the app daily to read my favorite strips. Is there anything like this available for the iPad or iPhone?

    It's a good idea but I think licensing issues prevent this. Some comic sites like dilbert.com have advertising to support the artist and apps like itreblid bypass it so they get discontinued:

    There would have to be an agreement between all the artists to put their content in a single application and I don't see it happening.

    Dilbert has a proprietary hybrid app that is free. It works great, and isn't just limited to the latest strip. The ads are not intrusive at all.
