I usually read most comic strips online daily through Go Comics dot com.

However since Friday afternoon (November 18) only the following message appears against an otherwise totally blank screen.

"The requested service is temporarily unavailable. It is either overloaded or under maintenance. Please try again later."

Anyone else having similar problem(s) or know what's going on?

Thanks in advance if you reply.

When you go to the site now, regardless of what you look at, there is now a blue bar across the top bragging about updates coming in the Fall of 2023 that you can click for more details. Why not improve it sooner?

If they were smart, they would have delayed that announcement of a planned update to the website. From what I understand, this current problem is a problem with the source, Andrews McMeel, not actually with gocomics. The same 2016 strips are going out to the actual newspapers(!), not just to the internet.

I can;t remember if I checked yesterday, but today all of the comics that I follow on gocomics are new.

I agree Richard, though I'm not sure if Luann and Rip Haywire picked up exactly where they left off before the snafu or just started from where they would have been anyway on Monday December 12 without the reprint week.

If the print newspapers only received the reruns, which has been said, that should mean that we haven't missed anything. The strips were just delayed. Creators that have special strips drawn for upcoming holidays will probably adjust their strips so that they land on the right days.

With Christmas and New Year's both on Sundays this year, those specific installments were prepared well in advance since Sundays are on a different production schedule.
As for the rest, we'll just have to wait and see...
