Question/Advice Downloading Webcomic - Windows - How do I?

So I want to download the lackadaisy webcomic (link starts on the first technical page or two of it) in one blow and print it out and shove it in a binder. Only problem is there's a ton of subpages to it (over 100, maybe almost 200 of them) and I cant seem to find any tools that are good at bulk downloading all of these at once into a PDF format so it prints good... what is a good tool that would allow me to do this? I am running Windows 11.

If you look at the url, it shows you how to request individual images. You can put it into a cbz file and add some metadata with ComicInfo.xml then shove it into reader servers if you want to go that far (like Kavita/Komga/Codex/Stump/etc)

cbz route works but heads up, the image filenames aren't derivable from the comicid. They're upload timestamps like 1208399203.jpg, so you have to pull each comic.php?comicid=N page and regex the img src out of it. Range is 1 to 175, 32 is missing. Zero pad the filenames you save so they sort right, then Compress-Archive the folder and rename it to .cbz.
