With purrr, it would be something like:\n\n``` r\n# list of comics:\ncm <- c(1421, 641, 87, 92)\npurrr::map_df(cm, get_comic)\n```\n\nThen you could plot it XKCD-style with the [xkcd](http://xkcd.r-forge.r-project.org/) package if you wanted.\n\nViewing Comics\n--------------\n\nThanks to [Colin](https://github.com/ColinFay), you can view the comics inside your default Viewer (in the Viewer pane if you're on RStudio)! Give it a shot with:\n\n``` r\nprint_xkcd(1)\n```"}
