Well not so secret anymore as it's the newsbox for today, but in fairly typical Keenspot fashion, there's been no previous announcement from Keenspot that they've added Teague Tysseling's Mad About U to the Keenspot lineup.
Congrats to Teague - Mad About U looks good so far.

Comixpedia Event for May: Mayday!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 27, 2005 - 11:13
Put on your fedoras and your battered leather jackets, slap on a six-shooter full of pencil lead and get ready for ... action!
The Comixpedia May 2005 event starts in about a week! It's called Mayday, and it's all about the action! Well... all about action, and all about you!
Mayfair Day is in trouble again. Which is no surprise – that guy's always in a scrape. Trotting the globe, finding the treasure, saving the orphans and stopping the bad guys. That's his job. And part of that job is danger!
So Mayfair's in trouble, and it's up to you to get him out. But no matter how hard you get him out, he's just gonna get right back into it.
Here's how it plays out:
We've got some of the greatest artists in action comics contributing a panel every week to this event. Each panel, posted weekly, will show Mayfair in deep trouble. And every week, we need you to show how Mayfair gets out of a jam – and right back into it.
There's more details at the Mayday site. Take a look and sign up, get your name on the list and start rubbing shoulders. If you're into action (or action/comedy, or heck, straight comedy) you'll have a blast and attract some new readers as well as maybe discovering some new comics yourself.
When we're done, it'll be like the world's most fun Choose Your Own Adventure ... dozens of threads, hundreds of stories. We're looking forward to seeing what you got!
