I'm not sure what version of Plucker Desktop I'm using but I am using it on WinXP and its probably a recent version, but I've plucked Zippy successfully using the "featured channels" (or is it Showcase?) button that is next to the From URL box when you Add a New Channel. It does capture the extra text from the Zippy About Page, but the comic is saved correctly by link to a thumbnail.
