Ah, the wonders of the internet. If it's worthwhile, someone will save it. In fact, someone will save it even if it's a piece of shit.

Someone saved all 500 comics, complete with all the captions, redid all the links so they'd work on anyone's computer, and archived the entire thing in a nice little 8 meg package, ripe for the plucking. Plus the entire site's available online, as well.
So much for shutting them down.
