Peanuts for Free

(with thanks to Norman Boyd): Web site Drawn! reports United Features’ website has gone free to view, including 50 years of Peanuts.

Taking a nod from the webcomics world and in response to the declining sales of newspapers the syndicate has, like GoComics and ROK Comics, begun to offer all of its content (including years of archives) at comics.com online for free.

Drwan! also notes that not just that, but its RSS feeds which once only contained links, now contain the cartoons themselves.

Signing up for an account allows you to create your own custom RSS feed or homepage featuring whichever features you’d like. Drwan's Olly Moss recommends strips such as Dave Coverly’s Speed Bump, Jerry Van Amerongen’s surreal Ballard Street, Darby Conley’s Get Fuzzy, and editorial cartoons by Pulitzer-winner Mike Luckovich.
