I'm hoping Mr Watterson, the Schulz Estate, etc are getting paid here, because unauthorized merchandising was one of the reasons why Bill Watterson quit doing Calvin & Hobbes.

Edit: Doing a fair bit of digging, I'm happy to see that yes, ad and membership money goes to the creators of the content.

Uclick is the publisher for all of these comic strips. Their subscription website has been around for YEARS (which is also why the older strips are low res - because they were designed to be downloaded by people on dial-up modems).

Dial-up modems?? Did they even have electricity back then?

One comic app to rule them all!

Yes! So excited there is now a SINGLE app that I can get to all my favorite comic strips like Lio, Argyle, and of course the classic Peanuts! GoComics.com has always been excellent about listening to their members so I can't wait to see what other cool enhancements they add. I personally would love to see my own comics at the very top or at least be notified what my personal comics have new strips. Stoked!

@Jessica, I hope they merge with King as well! I wouldn't pay for a membership with King but have been really happy with my Pro account on GoComics. Not seeing the ads on the app is amazing!
