    This year I resolve to dump this site. No fix since Sunday’s strip. This is unacceptable. back to the old Herald.

    My post to Gocomics: Guys, please fix what ever is wrong with the updates of Brenda Starr. It’s been almost a week now.

    OK, how do we reach these insensitive jerks on the phone? This is really outrageous.

    Happy New Year to you too, GoComics!

    This reminds me of the time I used to watch Korean dramas because they had English subtitles. I really got hooked on them. But then I moved and my new cable company didn’t have the same channel and I didn’t get to see the end of the latest series. So I called up a video store in an area I where knew Koreans lived and they said they had a video of the drama I missed but it didn’t have subtitles. But the girl who answered the phone at the video store told me how it ended. So if any of you have newspapers with Brenda Starr, tell us what we’ve missed.

    ang33(and all the rest): I’ve not yet seen to-day’s strip( thank’s to a major snow storm ). I thank the Boston Herald for still running the strip. Anyway, after the Sunday’s strip, the “item” up for action, is finally revealed( NOTE: I did post a verbal update on yesterday’s page ). The “item” in question looks a lot like the relic of Indiana Jones fame. That’s right ,the “ARK”. Or a Kazookistan version of it. Aurora gives the sales pitch, while Brenda lingers round ,wondering where Basil is. Ringo has also disappeared. Looks like we might be stuck at the auction for a while, yet. And yes, I saw this coming a mile away. Anywho, the “ark” is purported to cure all disease and ailments. Sound familiar? Like I told Marg, I will update here, until the go-mooks fix this. If any-one knows of another on-line( reliable ) source for comics, please to share a link.
    I even e-mailed Roy( he’s the inker/colourist for Brenda ). Neither he, June or Mary, have any controlle over operator errors, such as this one.

    I did find a phone # buried deep in the FAQ pages. Wonder if it’s open on holiday? This is for the ordering dept. for Universal Press Syndicate;816-932-6617. They’re out of Kansas City, MO. What? Nobody reads the FAQ’s???

    I have contacted Go Comics twice and have not gotten a response yet. This is ridiculous. I want my Brenda!

    I agree with all those upset that Brenda Starr has apparently been removed. Please, Brenda is as important as my morning cup of coffee.

    What is this? Has Brenda Starr been Hacked? How is this cartoonist Richard? and where did this tripe come from?

    Whatever this is, drop it! GoComics is not a free site, so the subscribers should get what they pay for, and this is not it. Give us back our Brenda Starr!!!

    what has happened to Brenda Starr? She has been one of my favorites for years. I would like her back. J.F.

    No problem, Marktrail. Glad to see at least two people are paying attention. As for the price of that relic…wow! Aurora’s gotta be droolin’. Guess I’ll have to nip on over to the library for the rest.

    Whoa, a mystery man in the 3rd panel, bidding on the ‘ark’! Thanks, Subtorp!

    What kind of technical problem can GoComics have that would affect only one or two comics and which also would take so long to fix?

    posthocGenius_badge said, 10 months ago

    My, my, so many crabby people on January 1.
    I don’t know what software UCLICK uses to operate this site but (based on many years of experience as a computer geek) I suspect this strip’s entry in the database simply got goofed up. I also suspect they have a rather thin staff right now and the glitch will get fixed next Monday when someone who can correct it returns from vacation. So chill and enjoy the rest of the comics.

    This is not Brenda Starr! There has been some kind of a mix-up.

    Where is Brenda? This is not the right comic and I am crabby indeed. I have to have my Starr fix on a daily basis.

    I really appreciate the photo etc address so at least I can have a look at it but I am paying for Brenda at this site.

    Thanks subtorp401 for finding Brenda. I do hope it’s true that GoComics will fix this all up come Monday – in the meantime though – dang it; I want my Brenda. And, I do pay to be here – I should get better treatment.

    Thanks for the update Subtorp401. I hate being left up in the air. Here’s hoping GoComics get it together in 2009.

    Subtorp401Genius_badge said, 10 months ago

    To all who followed my link, you are most welcome. Editing the minute strips from a newspaper isn’t easy. And what they charge for a paper these days! As this one does not put their comics page on-line. I’ll have to nip on over to the library for the back issues. I hope I can find them.
    As for the mystery bidder here, take a closer look at those glasses “he’s” wearing. Does Trad come to mind?

    THIS IS NOT BRENDA STARR. IS ANYONE AT THE HELM OF GOCOMICS? IS ANYONE AWAKE THERE? ALIVE? SENTIENT?

    dmhulbertGenius_badge said, 10 months ago

    UPDATE: Rabid emails work. I sent them to every email address I could find on the contact page, and it seems like they’re fixing the links finally; December is correct, still waiting for January. Am writing a letter to ouglas Edwards, President and CEO/uclick, LLC/4520 Main Street/Suite 500/Kansas City, MO 64111, though. There is a real problem with customer service and communications that should be addressed. My dad used to say “go to the top.”
    I went to this link:
    http://content.uclick.com/contact.html

    There is contact information for various departments, and I sent an email to each of them. There is also a phone number 1 (877) 6UCLICK, which I called and left an angry message. Try pointing out to them that in these tough economic times it would be just as easy to cancel the subscription and start coming to the site for free again if this is how they treat us.

    I miss Brenda too, but don’t take your frustration out on Brewster Rockit. It’s not his fault! One of my favorite comics :).

    Will Margueritem keep us posted with the alternative site?

  39. Subtorp401

    Subtorp401Genius_badge said, 10 months ago

    HankF: there is no alternate site( that I could find…yet ), this was a scan from a newspaper I did up. Read the other comments and you’ll find the link, not to mention a recap of the last three days. And Margueritem ,yes, I do believe that is Trad lurking in the shadows. Also, I seem to be having problems logging in. Hmmm…
