   gocomics doesn’t really charge much $11 for a year is very reasonable. Now the fact they let ads on their site that carry viruses is something I don’t want to support. Until I hear back from them how they are working to stop this is, I’ll just keep on the look out for being hijacked to another web site.

   The Tulsa (Oklahoma) World does shrink the size of the comics on its comics page on the week day and on Sundays, too.

   But, since the editorial staff considers “Doonesbury” to be a political comic strip, they put it on the editorial pages of the paper.

   I use Gocomics and Comics.com as well as the comics in other newspapers online to make up for the comics which the Tulsa World does not have.

   There are people who read the Tulsa World online only and they hide behind a screen name to make fun of it and its editorial writers. They brag about not buying the paper, too.

   But, if they write a Letter to the Editor and expect it to even be considered for publication, they have to use a real name and also include a real phone number and where they actually live. While the phone number is not published, their real name and city where they live is at the bottom of the published letter.

   One guy had been posting online comments as “Willard Roker.” When he actually had a Letter to the Editor published with his valid name, an ignoramus asked in the comments, “Is that your real name?”

   I still buy two newspapers a day as I prefer newsprint comics for my archive over those printed out from online.
   More and more I am turning to online sites as there are more comics available, and some comics are nearly unreadable in the paper.

   The nominal fee for a year gives you far more archive access in one place than you might otherwise have, so I don’t mind it. Pibgorn was the strip that made me commit to it though.

    I pay at comics.com, I pay here, I pay at King Featurss. Worth it for the archives, if nothing else (and keeping the ads at bay here). $15 or less per year isn’t bad at all.

    I don’t pay for comics. Period. I have been reading them online ever since the Detroit Free Press started censoring comics for content, and because they started making the frames smaller and harder to read. I login to gocomics and comics.com daily to get my fix every day. I don’t need all the bells and whistles – gold accounts, comics sent to my e-mail, etc. Just give me the comics!

    I also read two newspapers a day, and only look online for comics that are not carried in either of them.

    The Toronto Star recently added several comics to its weekend comics section, but it didn’t add any additional pages. Thus, many of the comics had to be reduced to a ridiculously small size. What can I say? There are always tradeoffs.

    And if we all only take our comics for free, who gets paid to draw comics? Or are we talking top-down corporate welfare for newspapers? Since that’s the only welfare the right wing seems to think is justifiable…

    i’ve been told that if you read comics online, creators get paid according to the number of hits they get, because the sites sell advertising. sounds like it SHOULD be true, but i don’t really know.
