Due to a number of consolidations, nearly all newspaper syndicated comics can be found on one of two websites: Comics Kingdom and GoComics. GoComics is the online presence of the Andrews McMeel Universal syndicate. It posts the daily newspaper comics on the same page as all the syndicate's political cartoonists, as well as what are essentially webcomics never intended to be printed anywhere.
Someone a while ago apparently decided to troll them on this. Thus comedy writer John Scully created The Comic Strip That Has a Finale Every Day. Yes, you can check the archives. No you won't see anything different.
Despite the "every day" in the title Scully apparently stopped adding technically new strips last January. Either he got tired of the joke or GoComics finally put their foot down on what they were willing to pay for.

I have to confess I really don't understand the concept or appeal of web comix. I do understand that the company that posts comics grabbed this too but did Scully ever work as a cartoonist at all? Is he really the Canadian journalist who'd written the books The John Scully I found is a Canadian journalist who's been lobbying to be allowed MAID because of his chronic depression.
Do you suppose GoComics actually paid money for The Comic Strip That Has a Finale Every Day? It does look as though he had some fun with it.
Have I gone down the wrong path?
Finally, have I been trolled?
