Is anyone noticing a site error code when accessing the King Features owned Comics Kingdom site this late morning/early afternoon September 19, 2021?

It's a "Page Not Found" message on the Comics Kingdom site. I tweeted about it to Comics Kingdom.

21:55 EST -- a few of them loaded when I clicked their bookmarks
individually.

Sometimes it took a few tries.

Still fundamentally broken at 8:30 AM EDT. Not accepting subscriber
logins ("bad server response").

So...how are Brian and Jimmy D getting their Family Circus recycled art strips to compare with the originals while Comics Kingdom is offline currently?

Arcamax: https://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/familycircus/
or
any number of newspaper sites around the nation carrying Comics Kingdom.
For example:
The Oregonian https://www.oregonlive.com/comics-kingdom/
The Seattle Post Intelligencer https://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/

Guess what? As of the morning of 9/21/2021 - Comics Kingdom is back online and working again!

Same problem shortly after midday today. It's the fortnightly bug!

It's kind of working now, although it doesn't seem to realize it is no
longer yesterday.

Yup. Same thing as two weeks ago, except that I think they had the previous incident fixed by now. Last night, the Saturday->Sunday update time passed, then this morning it had deteriorated to the "page not found" state, even for CK's home page. Now it's back to showing Saturday's strips. Sigh.

And now all strips are locked behind premium paywall. Yeah, like I'm
paying for this flaky site.

Dave Van Domelen, notes that the SeattlePI site is still on Saturday
strips.
