Independent Cartoonists Band Together for Success

Posted by samzenpus on Monday May 30, 2005 @03:49PM from the comic-freedom dept.

Brad Guigar writes "Six cartoonists, previously hosted at Keenspot, are banding together in a new approach to self-publishing. They have formed Blank Label Comics, a cooperative group of cartoonists who are helping one another succeed as independents. Each is using his proficiency in a particular aspect of the cartooning business to help the others -- who are doing the same in return. Scott Kurtz, creator of the daily comic strip PVP, applauded the move. 'The forming of Blank Label Comics is a big story in the webcomics community,' he said in a statement on his Web site, insisting that the 'real story ... is that a bunch of really talented guys are taking a chance, putting their necks out and trying to do this on their own.'"

Hopefully being beaten to death with a book of knock-knock jokes while somebody sodomizes him with a roll of his own fresh material (although this would be an amazingly small roll).

Illiad has done approximately two fifths of fuck all for comic entertainment lately. "OMG Windoze ams teh crashest!" wasn't funny to start with and doesn't come anywhere near being mainstream entertainment.

Fuck, even Penny-Arcade are easier to follow for the layman than Illiads painfully trite garbage, and that's saying something.

.. flame suit on...
