Here are a collection of links to good, clean, free, professional Internet comics that you can read at free public access Internet sites. I think there are much more than a hundred different comics titles available here, and hundreds more Internet only comics by hobbists and would be professionals at this link
Six 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 on Google. This page is always number one on clean comics, sometimes it is number one on free comics, it is always on the first page. Or you can
, you can always remove it later.
comics.com About 100 comic page comics plus some editorial comics. You can bring up ten days comics at a time, say the fifth through the fourteenth. You just have to scroll up and down to read all ten. This maybe more convinent than most. But what is more they really let you go back a long way. They had Heathcliff the cat back to January 1, 2000.
ucomics.com More than 150 comics. They give you the last fourteen days of each comic free. If you go back more than 14 days they encourage you to sign up for their service. Looks like you can get three months for free, but they want a buck a month after that. Like all of these services they put up new comics once a day. So you can check in once every two weeks and follow your comics. I found it pretty easy to click through.
Yahoo comics has more than 100 comics plus editiorial cartoons. They have many very popular comics. Yahoo provides you with the last ten days. You can go to the view by date box, choose the first date and then click through them in order. I found it works pretty well.
creators.com About 32 comics page comics. They usually give you the last week, but sometimes two weeks. Go to the archive and pick the first one, and then click next to work your way through the comics.
comicspage.com Almost 30 comics. They give you the last six months. Use the archive box to select the first one and then click on the arrow to the right of the date.
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.
Smaller commercial newspaper sites
These are smaller commercial syndicatics with odd stuff I have never seen. Still fun to explore.
artistmarket.com A large collection of cartoonists who are trying to break into the business, some funny stuff.
corbettfeatures.com A smaller but still interesting syndicator
Sites for individual comics
A comic about librarians
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.
