Have the copyright owners given you permission to use the image(s) on their server in this manner?

well considering the fact that they give out the code everyday for the comic to put up on myspace i didnt think it would matter

I don't see how, if you don't know the URL to the image.

Seems like they would have to have a dynamic link on their end that they could give out for people like you who want to show their comic.

There are lots of sites that offer dynamic content, and I am sure it can be done, but from my limited knowledge I think it would have to be through them.

It's a good idea since they want to be promoted like that. If you can find info on it you might present them with the info and hopefully they can implement it.
