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.'"

    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.
