See, this is my problem with a lot of webcomics too. There are some very good webcomics that I frankly don't care about anymore, because it's too much of a pain to manually check them for updates.
Before I started using RSS I had a massive list of webcomics and blogs that I checked manually about twice a day; now I just use Google Reader, and if something doesn't have a feed, it needs to be REALLY good for me to even consider reading it regularly. If it does have a read, and one or two posts even mildly interest me, I'll subscribe to the feed for at least a few days. The quality threshold for maintaining my interest is pretty low if I can use RSS, but if I'm going to have to work at it -- the answer is usually no.
