(So, assuming the sidebar takes up 200 pixels width and the window is 1000 pixels wide, the picture would be 800 pixels wide. If the window becomes 500 pixels wide, assuming the sidebar doesn't change size, the picture would then be 300 pixels wide.)

The proper way to do this in HTML is to use the CSS width property, like so:

    <img src="..." style="width: 100%;">

(That 100% is related to the width of the current region of the page, not the window.) The height automatically scales to match as long as you leave it unspecified.

HOWEVER...

1. I tried to get Tiki to embed that and failed; while its image syntax claims to support a percentage, the resulting HTML has a fixed size and it appears to be something like "percentage of original image size", not CSS percentage.

2. By mucking with the HTML, I found that the wiki has a fixed-width layout (which your original image was simply forcibly spilling out of due to being large); this auto-resizing will simply not have any effect but making the image fit _the wiki theme_. In order to have the image content adapt to the window size, the wiki theme would have to be edited to itself be adaptable.

My recommendation would be to either construct a separate site designed for the comics, or link to the bare image without any page around it; modern browsers will scale the image and allow the user to zoom in and out.
