I’ve been reading the comics on line using a paid subscription to Comics Kingdom for several years. All of a sudden today it’s gone with no explanation/announcement.

Zit’s, by the same folks is still there, at least for now.

Has anyone heard anything about why it’s gone?

Did it move? I see the current strip at [Baby Blues | Comics | ArcaMax Publishing](https://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/babyblues/s-2616928)

It’s there all right. I did a search yesterday for baby blues on line and didn’t get any worthwhile hits in the first two pages.

I wonder if there’s a new player in town, website’s dated 2022, and has captured the rights. I see Beatle Bailey and many other on their list.

Thanks

A rare reader of an actual newspaper here! Baby Blues was in the newspaper this morning.

I read it on Comics Kingdom as well. Baby Blues was gone for a day, then “replaced” by duplicate Zits strips. I think it’s just a glitch with Comics Kingdom.

Comics Kingdom does have mirror sites, such as [the Seattle _Post-Intelligencer_,](https://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/) but they don’t have the strip at the moment, either.

The _Baby Blues_ comic strip has signed on to a different syndicate:

[https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2022/01/12/baby-blues-signs-with-andrews-mcmeel-syndication/](https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2022/01/12/baby-blues-signs-with-andrews-mcmeel-syndication/)

“While **AMS/GoComics** doesn’t take up the strip for three weeks, **KFS/Comics Kingdom** has already dropped the strip from its digital platforms, so one of the few places to read the strip online in the interim is at **ArcaMax**.”

Baby Blues is on GoComics today, so that’s good. I did read it yesterday on ArcaMax.

Thanks for all the great information.
