Other features such as descriptions of strip characters, biographical information about cartoonists and links to other recommended feature pages are often included.
As of 2016, GoComics had more than 44,000 subscribers worldwide.[1] In addition to the contents of the page on the site, users can have strips sent to them by email on a daily basis (for a fee, starting August 29, 2013). Users can also comment on, collect, tag and share their favorite comics.
