GoComics is a website launched in 2005 by the digital entertainment provider Uclick. It was originally created as a distribution portal for comic strips on mobile phones. However, in 2006, the site was redesigned and expanded to include online strips and cartoons. GoComics publishes editorial cartoons, mobile content, and daily comics. It is currently owned by Andrews McMeel Universal.[1]
Comics are arranged into feature pages, which display the latest comic strip with a 30-day archive, or the entire archive for paying members.[dubious – discuss] Other features such as descriptions of strip characters, biographical information about cartoonists and links to other recommended feature pages are often included.
As of 2016, GoComics had more than 44,000 subscribers worldwide.[1] In addition to the contents of the page on the site, users can have strips emailed to them daily for free. Users can also comment on, collect, tag, and share their favorite comics.
