Eight Big Newspaper Comics Sites

All of these sites have top professional newspaper comics, like Dilbert, Cathy, Peanuts, and The Family Circle, and many you have never heard of. Some of them have old classics like Lil' Abner and Dick Tracy. There are probably more than 200 different comics between the eight sites. Some comics are on more than one site. As these sites constantly put up new comics and drop the old you might want to check back every couple of weeks to follow the comics. Many of these big newspaper comics are fairly easy to navigate.

After you have explored one site you can get back to this page by seaching for clean comics, or free comics on Google. In both cases this page is the first on the list. Or you can Hit CTRL-D to bookmark this page, you can always remove it later.

Yahoo comics has about 60 comics for the comics page plus editiorial cartoons. The have many very popular comics. Yahoo provides you with the last two weeks. If you want to read all of the last two weeks go to the box with the words "View Comic by Date" next to it. Chose the first and when you are finished with that click on the word next above the comic.

comics.com Almost 100 comic page comics plus some editorial comics. They provide the last 30 days. There is a calendar under the comic. Click on the first day on the comic to go back 30 days, then click on the words next day at the top right hand corner of the calendar.

A calendar appears, at the top of the calendar is the name of the current month with an arrow just to the left. Click on that and it will take you back to the first free comic. Click on next day at the top of each comic to read the month's comics.

KingFeatures.com I think all of these comics are different from the others. About 55 comics. Many old classics. They give you the first week of the previous month. So the other weeks are unavailable in the free service. They are a little difficult to click through, you have to select the date from a menu and then click get comic.

Comics on Public Access Thoughts

Always try to stay out of trouble on public access, that way they will not take it away from us and they may give us more.

If you found this site by putting the words free comics into Google I would like to warn you that at least one of the other links on that page is to a web site you should avoid. I have also found that lots of the top sites found with the word clean comics, include both clean and not so clean comics.

Most public access computers do not allow you to prevent the loading of images, but a few do. If you are uncertain about a site you might want to set your browser to only load text, not images, if that is possible.

I hesitate to encourage reading comics on our limited public access computers, but sometimes many computers are free and you have some time to relax so here are some web sites.

I might also mention that most public libraries have an extensive collection of free comics in the adult non-fiction section under the call number 741.59. As turning a page is easier than messing with the Internet you might want to read your favorites from the library before you spend public access computer time on the comics.

Besides this web site may help people who wish to read comics at home or work and do not want their wife, kids, boss, or coworkers to look over their shoulder at the wrong moment.
