Yeah, King Features is stuck in the past and only makes the first week of the previous month available online. There’s several King-only features I’d love to see on a website like this one where we can discuss it. Hopefully the new website will keep giving us our daily Bleeker fix.
Have you read the article on his site? He’s completely restarting the strip, too, from the very beginning. What a complete “up yours” to existing fans. All hail the mighty dollar, I guess, and to hell with any followers.
From the article:
The comic will restart from the beginning to allow new readers a chance to get to know the characters just as the characters themselves, get to know each other. To be clear, this doesn’t mean I’m going to rerun 4 1/2 years of comics. That would be boring for longtime readers and also for me too! For the first month and a half I have reworked some introductory strips and added a bunch of new ones. I hope this brief introductory period will be fun for longtime fans as well.
C’mon,I’m not happy about the switch either, but it’s really no use getting all worked up about it. I wish Jonathan and Bleeker well in this venture.

I hope Bleeker will be on my local paper’s web site, where I read other KFS strips.

I read KFS comics, but wish I could comment, rate and discuss them.
