...... but a useful peice of code everyone should have  
;-)

public class DilbertComic {

    BufferedReader webRead = new BufferedReader(
      new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
    String line;

      if (line.indexOf("ALT=\"Today's Dilbert Comic\"") != -1) {
        int offset = line.indexOf(
          "<IMG SRC=\"/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert");
        line = line.substring(offset + 10);

               line.substring(0, line.indexOf('"'));
      }
    }

  }

    byte[] b = new byte[1024];
    int len;
    while((len = in.read(b)) != -1) {
      out.write(b, 0, len);
    }
    out.close();
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    System.out.println("Looking for today's dilbert comic . . .");
    String today = todaysDilbert();

    if (today == null) {

    } else {
      System.out.println("Found today's dilbert: " + today);
      URL url = new URL(today);

      // download it as an ImageIcon and show it in a JFrame.
      System.out.println("Downloading the Image . . .");
      ImageIcon im = new ImageIcon(url);
      System.out.println("Downloaded the Image");

      JFrame f = new JFrame("Today's Dilbert");
      f.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(im));
      f.pack();
      f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      f.show();
    }
  }
}
