Summary
Buoh is a very basic comic strip program that sports access to more than 130 comics. We experienced a few crashes on one of our systems, but performance is satisfactory.
Buoh hasn’t seen any significant development since 2006, so it’s not surprising that some of the comics are no longer available. But most of them are still accessible.
There are more sophisticated comic book readers available than Buoh. We’ve written a Group Test showcasing the best open source comic book viewers.
Buoh is written in C. If you’re looking to improve your knowledge of this language, check out our recommended free C books and free C tutorials.
