Independent Cartoonists Band Together for Success
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.'"
We slahdot their server. Go figure.
In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely considered as a bad move.
Sounds like they also created a new team of superheroes... I give you the Blank Comic 6! Cartoonist during the day and upholder of the first amendment on the Internet by night.

User Friendly's fanbase can't afford Internet connections ever since the entire technical support industry was offshored.
I suggest holding fire on the insults until you actually read opinions from both sides of the fence. Spouting off as you did makes you sound willfully ignorant.
You must be new here.
Too bad there isn't a mod "-1 cynical curmudgeon."
I think you mean "+1, cynical curmudgeon."
Not everybody considers it a bad thing, snowflake. Curmudgeons make me laugh. Wet blankets like you make me bored and sad. Curmudgeons win.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
You are absolutely right, but TBH I was more encouraged by the fact that the article had "independent" spelled correctly (not "independant").
There is still hope in the world. Perhaps I should mark this day in my calendar (not calender) as "independence day".
I'm sorry if I haven't offended anyone
