[GoComics.com](http://GoComics.com) has been offline for about a week now. Has there been an announcement about why? I also can’t seem to find any other online service for comic strips that doesn’t also cut off after GoComics stopped operating.

They have, however, changed to an annoying new format where, if you go to a strip, instead of seeing the strip you see an “overview” that’s zoomed in on the strip way too far.

Weird…I have seen multiple people complain about this, but I haven’t seen it, myself. If I knew why, I’d tell how to bypass it. \>\_\>
