It’s definitely time to find replacement URLs for all the comics on my daily list.

I’ve had excellent results from this RSS-Server: https://www.comicsrss.com/
although I believe it uses GoComics as the source of the data for most of the comics in the list.
Perhaps they were doing maintenance overnight? Site is working now.
I’m definitely going to check the RSS feed, though, that would be *so* convenient.
Thanks so much, Chak: even though GoComics has been “fixed,” there new format still makes reading comics a chore.
If you create an login and follow comics, you get them on a single page.
Brian in STL, I could never make that work. I would follow a comic, but what showed up was that exact comic, for that same day, over and over.
I think you have to be a paid subscriber to get the custom comic page feature.
I was on gocomics just after midnight on 4/23 and I could access all, but the 4/23 comics did not show up until around 1:30/2:00 am.
I sometimes start to read my comics for the week – normally read overnight Mon-Tues on early Sun am if the embroidery group I visit overnight Sat-Sun does not have a lot of posts, as this gives me more time on Mon-Tues reading for all of the great comments from this group, so I know that normally I will get the Mon comics earlier than this when I read them early Mon am.
Thanks Kilby, for the RSS link. I just finished changing all my Go Comics links to RSS.
You are welcome, but the suggestion wasn’t (originally) mine – someone else posted it at CIDU in an earlier thread.
In addition, I have since discovered a (small) disadvantage with the RSS feed solution: on some days (like today), it appears that when the “collection” process fails, there’s simply a gap for that day. In most cases, the next day’s collection process picks up both strips, but it means going “comic-less” for (at least) 24 hours (or putting up with the indignity of GoComics’ endless scripting and load times).

I’ve been using this one:
http://www.syracuse.com/go-comics/?amu=/explore/list
which draws from GoComics but without the hassle.

I recently found this site as a nice alternative to the silliness at go-comics: https://www.arcamax.com/comics.
Thanks.
And GoComics seems to be dead again.
