GoComics is a website launched in 2005 by the digital entertainment provider Uclick. It was originally created as a distribution portal for comic strips on mobile phones. However, in 2006, the site was redesigned and expanded to include online strips and cartoons. GoComics publishes editorial cartoons, mobile content, and daily comics. It is currently owned by Andrews McMeel Universal.Dwyer, Ed. [https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2016/11/the-funny-papers/ "CULTURE: The Funny Papers: Newspapers may be in trouble, but the comic strip is alive and well — and flourishing online,"] Saturday Evening Post (November 7, 2016).

Comics are currently arranged into feature pages, which display the latest comic strips within a 14-day archive for non-users, a 30-day archive for registered members, or the entire archive for Premium members. 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. In addition to the contents of the page on the site, users can have strips emailed to them daily for free. Users can also comment on, collect, tag, and share their favorite comics.

In March 2025, GoComics announced that the website would be completely redesigned, and that Premium subscribers would have full access to the site's comic strip archives for $4.99 a month/$34.99 a year, as well as games and puzzles, beginning April 1.{{Cite web |last=team |first=GoComics |date=2025-03-18 |title=Big Changes Are Coming to GoComics! {{!}} GoComics.com |url=https://www.gocomics.com/blog/5067/changes-are-coming-to-gocomics |access-date=2025-03-19 |website=GoComics |language=en}}{{deadlink|date=April 2025}} A major part of the update was the addition of a paywall, along with access to the comic strip archives currently limited to only the last 2 weeks for non-registered users and 30 days for registered free users, which has been criticized by many users.
