=== Comics Kingdom (2008–present) === In November 2008, King Features introduced Comics Kingdom, a digital platform that newspapers can embed on their sites. Comics Kingdom splits advertising revenue with newspapers carrying the feature; those papers make local sales, while King handles national sales. During the 30-day period in which strips are made available on the newspaper sites, readers can post comments on local community forums.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2008-11-17-comics-king-features_N.htm|last=Lieberman|first=David|title=King Features mixes cash with laughs in Comics Kingdom|work=[[USA Today]]|date=November 18, 2008}}</ref> In January 2019, to commemorate [[Popeye]]'s 90th birthday, multiple King Features cartoonists drew their own versions of the comic and published those strips on Comics Kingdom.
