Thanks joshu and swah! I'm actually the creator of the site and am doing this completely manually. I've explored here and there on how I might automate it, though it all looks a bit daunting. I hadn't heard of OpenCV, and I will definitely explore this further. Thank you so much!
Full writeup coming soon! (I'll comment here with a link, in case it doesn't make front-page.)
Getting the lines is not the hard part, but rather, reasoning about the regions enclosed by them to find the panels. I'm not totally satisfied with my current solution (it's a bit hacky), so I'll try to tweak it a bit, but in any case, results will be posted soon.

[ 6.7 ms ] story [ 42.7 ms ] threadI bet this is pretty automatable, too.
I think you want to do a Hough transform and then look for long vertical lines.
But I'm no expert.
Fortunately, I found a better way that does get me to 80% or so.
What's working?

also, i wonder what his UI works like? i bet you can do this in two clicks of a human per comic.
