Currently the comic strip plasmoid doesn't have the ability to automatically show the next day's comic strip.
Until this feature is implemented, you can press back, then forward twice to get the new comic.

I'm using KDE 4.2.4 release (in kubuntu), and the bug is still there... comics don't advance automatically, and even the manual back/forward arrows aren't properly updated to reflect that new strips are available. After a reboot the newest strip is shown and I can back up to the previous (missed) ones. Following the tip in this report, I found it's also possible to press back and then forward twice to advance.

Desired behavior: The back/forward buttons should always reflect the real availability of prev/next strips, and the new strips should be shown by default when they become available. Nice to have enhancement: make auto-advance configurable, i.e. either it either automatically shows the latest strip, or stays on a given strip until manually advanced (but buttons must always reflect the availability properly). Also, I don't know if there's a standard time of day for updates, but if not - the checking interval should be configurable as well (default to once a day or whatever is the current default).
