Uclick has revealed an all-new mobile Web application for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch at the Macworld Conference & Expo event in San Francisco.

By navigating to www.uclick.com on the iPhone and iPod touch, the Safari browser now displays the Uclick archive of 400,000 comic strips, single-panel comics and editorial cartoons.

Currently the iPhone-optimised site features comic strips and single-panel cartoons, including Doonesbury, Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, Close to Home, Cul De Sac and many more.

The new site also provides a quick index to the comic books, Manga and graphic novels Uclick has recently added to the Apple App Store. Comics cost 59p.

The site makes it easy to find all the instalments of Bone, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many others as well as original webcomic creations now distributed by Uclick, including Basic Instructions, We The Robots and Pibgorn.

According to Uclick CEO Douglas Edwards, "We've taken our huge 'toon-bank of daily comics and editorials and made it easy to find and navigate on the iPhone. In addition to updating more than a hundred features every day, we've made it easy to step through previous days' cartoons and discover more classic creations as well as innovative new webcomic artists. We also deliver cartoonist's views of the news by featuring three-quarters of all the working editorial cartoonists in the US today."
