    @plainbroke this module does scraping of the today page html to find the url of the image

    Maybe they changed the page layout

      I am hoping that B3DTech will jump in and help me fix this he had it working for a while. Do you think since it requires a subscription on that page now, that we will not be able to scape the cartoon off of that page anymore?

          @plainbroke try this

          using this version https://github.com/B3DTech/MMM-CalvinAndHobbes.git
          in the node_helper.js

          comment out this line

                      const $ = cheerio.load(html);
                      //$('div[class^="ShowFiveFavorites"]').remove(); <----- comment out like this
          

          must restart MM as the node_helper is loaded only at MM startup time

            Well that brought back the screen I have been stuck on, (that does not update)., I think it is the comic from april 3rd 2025, and now it is scrunched up at the top of my screen instead of filling the screen.
            Too weird how that one line does that.

            .MMM-CalvinAndHobbes .module-content {
                    Margin-top: 10px;
                    Margin-left: 10px;
                    max-width: 1810px;
                    max-height: 1025px;
                    width: 1810px;
                    height: 1025px;
                    overflow: hidden;
            }
            
            #cahcomiccontent {
                    width: 1810px;
                    height: 1025px;
            }
            

            Is what I have had in my custom.css for a long time to show the comic full screen.
            That took a lot of tweaking to get just right.

                That is ok, really.
                I am burnt out too trying to get it up and running myself.
                I am thinking unless someone else wants to put a bunch of time in to figuring out what changed. I am done with this one.
                I do appreciate the time you have invested in trying to figure it out…
                Thank you very much for your help…
                I will mark it resolved.

                  invested some time to grab the comic url, you can try my fork.

                    Thank you so very much for your work.
                    I did have to restore the original css file from the original builder of this module.
                    So I could get the full screen to work. Other wise it works so great now.
                    My wife is very pleased.
                    Thank you again for your great work…

                      hm, did I fork from the wrong repo?

                      If you share a link to the original file you mentioned I can update it on my fork.
