“Edge City” is back!
Apparently “Edge City” is now being syndicated on GoComics, so I’ve updated the comics aggregator to get it from there instead of Comics Kingdom.

Users of my comics aggregator who are also Comics Kingdom subscribers may have noticed that Tina’s Groove and Edge City have been missing in the aggregator for more than a week.

“Gearhead Gertie” comic added to comics aggregator
The Comics Kingdom weekly comic “Gearhead Gertie” has been added to the comics aggregator.

If it were… Read More »
“Ask Amy” has been removed from the comics aggregator
The advice column “Ask Amy”, written by Amy Dickinson, has been removed from my comics aggregator and will not be coming back.
