   Why’s obvious! Because it takes too long to go around.

   Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sadie, you have no evidence that Kathryn from Ontario has or hasn’t done anything at all.

   Why We Removed Comments From Political Cartoons10 days ago Updated

   As of July 17, 2024, GoComics will no longer offer commenting on political cartoons. Our goal is to foster an engaged, thoughtful community. However, maintaining a respectful environment has become increasingly difficult given the divisive nature of certain topics and the tendencies of some to provoke controversy as the 2024 election approaches.

   On top of this, GoComics uses an outdated commenting tool that lacks the capability to effectively moderate the comments and ensure compliance with the site’s commenting policy.

   Given these circumstances, we’ve made the difficult decision to remove commenting from political cartoons. This is likely not a permanent measure—we hope to reinstate comments in 2025 with an improved commenting platform.

   We appreciate your understanding as we work to uphold the integrity of the GoComics community.
