Is there an issue tracker? bug list? review board? Anything on this page to report such fixes?

Thanks for the patch. :)

I slightly modified it and now both old and new strips should work again.

When I first installed the Garfield comic strip it worked on Sundays, but recently it has stopped displaying them.
Any ideas?

The file extension have changed to jpg since 2011 on Sundays. Go to .kde/share/apps/plasma/comics/garfield/contents/code/main.es and edit fileName assignment in the getComic() method:

var extension = ".gif";
if (comic.identifier.year() >= 2011 && comic.identifier.dayOfWeek() == 7)
extension = ".jpg";
var fileName = "ga" + comic.identifier.toString("yyMMdd") + extension;
