PvP JOINS KEENSPOT:
Posted by kurtz on Monday, April 1, 2002

I am proud to announce that I have accepted an invitation to join the largest online cartoon destination on the web - Keenspot.com.

PvP will continue to be produced, seven days a week with two extra color strips available each week through Keenspot's subscription service: KEENSPOT PREMIUM.

PvP joins an already all star lineup of hilarious and popular webcomics including Sinfest, Bobbins, Joe Average, and Superosity.

Starting with issue 8, the PvP comic will be printed under the new KEENSPOT COMICS imprint, departing from Dork Storm Press.

"We're terribly sorry to see Scott go." says John Kovalic, author and illustrator of Dork Tower. "We wish Scott the best and Keenspot as well." Aaron Williams, creator of Nodwick added "I'm excited for Scott and Keenspot. I think this is a match made in heaven."

Chris Crosby, Co CEO of Keenspot Entertainment said "Scott is a wonderful cartoonist and we couldn't be happier that he's joining the Keenspot family."- ion -

Bill Gates being murdered was THE best. Someone bought www.cnn-news.com domain and put a replica of the site up with a death report so real it could've fooled the journalists who wright them. Sadly a couple minutes after I found it the server was down for "maintenance."

I originally thought someone had hacked the real CNN sight.
