hugo-theme-comic: Hugo Comic Theme

Don’t worry, this theme does not change your Hugo site’s default font to Comic Sans. 😌

Instead, it renders comic strips that are organized by date:

alt text {width=532px}

Features

Home view with a jump list to each year and the most recent strips
Yearly view with a jump list to each month
Monthly view
Menu for fast year selection

Demo

Hugo Comic Theme Demo

Source code for the demo site

The comic strips for the demo site are from: https://xkcd.com/

Installation

Download the theme:

mkdir themes
cd themes
git clone https://gitlab.com/mrubli/hugo-theme-comic

Update your Hugo site configuration file (e.g. hugo.yaml) to include this line:

theme: hugo-theme-comic

Directory structure

The comic strip files are expected to live in the content/ directory, in a yyyy/mm/yyyy-mm-dd.ext structure. Furthermore, all directories must contain an empty _index.md file, so that Hugo processes the directory.

For example:

content/
└── 2024
    ├── 01
    │   ├── 2024-01-01.jpg
    │   ├── 2024-01-02.jpg
    │   ├── 2024-01-03.jpg
    │   ├── …
    │   ├── 2024-01-31.jpg
    │   └── _index.md
    ├── 02
    │   ├── 2024-02-01.jpg
    │   ├── …
    │   └── _index.md

The following command can be used to create _index.md files in all relevant directories.

find content/???? -type d -exec touch {}/_index.md \;
