I've had trouble since yesterday. Dilbert came up, but none of the others.

Seems that Comics Kingdom is broken.
Can't get any King Features comics from any site that uses Comics
Kingdom feeds.
They are available from the Houston Chronicle page,
with a little work.

Click on the comic of your choice from the left (color comics) column
then manipulate the url for the November 14 date.
Arcamax's KFS strips also show,
but the menu is more limited.

That's why you're the FAQman, Jackson.

I read King Features comics from the Toronto Star. (They have the most
readable King Features comics on the net. You wouldn't it would be necessary
to skimp on size online, but apparently it is.)

Yesterday there were no comics there (at least not the ones I read.) Same
thing happened a few days before. I just googled the strips I read and found
a different site that has them.
I think I used seattlepi.com or sfgate.com. Guess it was sfgate.com since
apparently Seattle PI also was broken.
Hm. It appears that SF Gate serves up the comics in two different manners.
Comics Kingdom:
http://www.sfgate.com/comics/?feature_id=Baby_Blues
http://www.sfgate.com/comics/?feature_id=Bizarro
No mention of Comics Kingdom, and more complicated navigation between strips
(there doesn't seem to be any, besides editing the links):
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/comics/Baby_Blues.dtl
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/comics/Bizarro.dtl
These are the pages that Google finds. That may be why I was able to read the
comics.
Some other comics links:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/comics/Mutts.dtl
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/comics/Shermans_Lagoon.dtl

something on my end. Too bad if the removal's permanent, as I used it
reasonably often.
Two other links that are similar to the recently-departed SF Gate as far
as the ability to view Comics Kingdom strips:
https://www.oregonlive.com/comics-kingdom/
https://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/
the latter of which, contrary to the subject line this brings us back
to, is fortunately not broken.
