Not only are they recent repeats - they are a lot fuzzier and harder to read than they were the last time around.
I saved some of the Sunday strips in my favorite collections - so I KNOW that, even on the SUNDAY strips - the strips were larger and easier to read the LAST time around than they have been this time around.
Wonder what is going on with GO Comics! So far, NONE of the stuff they have done would rate as “improvements” in MY book!
I visit a few pages where I can request my favorites at 6 to 8 per page with NO fee being charged for that. I can often go to those pages and read through ALL of my favorite comics in the same amount of time I end up waiting for a Go Comic to move from one page to the next . Unfortunately, Mutt and Jeff is NOT one of the comics which I can find somewhere else. So guess I will just suffer through with Go comics for those few comics which ONLY Go Comics seems to offer.
Don’t know how many other people have been put off by the so-called “improvements” at Go Comics - but I know that I spend less time here since Go Comics “improved” themselves. Which means that I see FEWER of the advertisements.
I would think that Go Comics would lose money in the long run by having fewer people visit their pages because of the unwieldy nature of the so-called “improvements.”
Of course, they probably do NOT need to be truthful with their advertisers about how many people visit their comic pages.
You know - it was ALWAYS the comics which “sold” newspapers. I can remember, way back when - one of the big cities - like New York - had a BIG newspaper strike. And the governor or mayor or someone went on the RADIO and READ the Sunday funnies to people. Even in those days, people could get their NEWS from places like the RADIO. What the newspapers had that radio did NOT have were comic strips!
Once newspaper started dumping out all of the best comics, newspaper lost subscribers. Once the advertisers realized that the newspapers were losing subscribers, the advertisers pulled back on their newspaper advertising.
I notice that ALL of the Internet comic pages which I visit have TONS of advertising. The advertisers KNOW where to find the web pages which attract a high volume of visitors.
I think Go Comics needs to take advice from Walt on Gasoline Alley - “If it ain’t broke - DON’T fix it!”

A recent repeat.
