+# fetch-achewood
+A pair of scripts that will fetch all Achewood comics and captions/alt-text, and then will reformat
+those comics and append the caption to the image.
+
+# Usage
+
+First, download achewood comics with `python3 fetch-achewood.py`. Requires Python 3.10+ and no
+additional libraries. All comics will be dumped into the `data/images/` directory.
+
+Second, run `./postprocess.sh`. This will convert all comics to png and add the caption to the
+bottom of the comic if it exists and dump them in the `out/` directory.
