  2. 10.50 central time, CK may be “up” but everything is requesting paywall access now. hopefully it goes back to regular soon… ?

  3. It appears to be available as I write, but given the problems that they have plagued them since their redesign a year or two ago, and their toxic comment section, I’m not sure of how much value that is.

    Sorry, reposting with my name as required. I knew that, I just picked the wrong option.

  5. It apparently was up at 2.05 pacific, but now at 6.15 pacific it’s completely down. oh well….

  6. As of 9:30 (CDT) today, only one of the eight comics I follow will load. Today’s comics are visible via my local newspaper site, but _none_ of the comics shows an entry for Sunday.

    Is this a DDoS? Or just a massive server foul-up? Youth wants to know! (And so do I.)

  7. Y’all got it better than me.
    I haven’t been able to log in to premium service for two weeks, since that fubar then.
    Today they renewed my subscription for another year!

  9. carl, just a fubar on their part. i can get to the sunday ones today. i’m glad at least arcamax has most of them, but trail is one i’d be pretty sore about losing. i could see that on the washington post site but it was small and blurry.

  10. I tried to post here yesterday that the online comics site for the Houston Chronicle showed the missing Sundays (and also noted that the site for the Seattle Times, which I usually use instead of going to (ptui) CK itself, did not), but the post was sent into moderation and never reappeared (probably because I included the two links and the modbot thought I was being wicked or something). Anyway, a quick DuckDuckGo will give you the URLs for future reference.

  11. Didn’t notice your first post (now approved) in the queue.
    Miahnhamnida.
    You are right about two links in a comment usually sending the letter into a pending pattern.
    Thanks for The Chron info, we’ll check that out IF Comics Kingdom ever goes ka-blooey again.

    p.s.: the sites I checked – The Oregonian and The Arizona Republic – didn’t get the Sunday strips out either. Stopped checking after those two.
