GoComics Today's Best Comic Strips

A 1,000-foot spiderweb has sprung up in the Greek town of Aitoliko, covering trees and shrubs. The spiders are likely from the genus Tetragnatha, and the arachnid takeover is likely because of a perfect combination of food, high temperatures, and humidity. How else could the spiders have built such a huge web? 

Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh is facing sexual assault allegations. The Senate Judiciary Committee may have to delay its vote on him until his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testifies. Many have compared this situation to Anita Hill testifying against Clarence Thomas when he was a nominee in 1991. In the #MeToo era, Kavanaugh's path to confirmation could be blocked. 

New Nancy creator Olivia Jaimes will appear as a special guest at the Sept. 27-30 Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC), event organizers announced today. It will be the first major festival appearance for Jaimes, who took over creative duties for the classic comic strip in April. She will participate in a Sunday afternoon panel at the Columbus, Ohio, festival. 

The reboot of Nancy has been a hot topic, with Jaimes' mix of modern technology references and Ernie Bushmiller-style humor bringing a surge of attention to the 85-year-old strip.
