Raspberry Pi drives daily Calvin and Hobbes comic fun via E-ink display

Raspberry Pi.

There's nothing quite like cracking open the funnies to find your favorite comic strip. Today we've got a Raspberry Pi project that harnesses that energy and compresses it into a beautiful E-Ink display. Maker and developer Doctr_sbaitso is a Calvin and Hobbes fan and decided to create a framed display that automatically shows a new Calvin and Hobbes comic every day.

It's important to note that this doesn't just show a random Calvin and Hobbes comic but rather displays them each day in the order they were released. This mimics the experience you would have in real life reading them in the newspaper every day. These comics originally ran from 1985 until 1995 so the project should provide plenty of daily entertainment for the next decade.
