Killroy and Tina's 2nd Anniversary Charity Auction!
Submitted by Justinpie on November 3, 2003 - 03:51
In November of 2001, Killroy and Tina made its online debut with little fanfare, acclaim, or talent. In a time when the word "hiatus"
was a webcomic's silent death, Killroy and Tina (KnT for short) kept plugging away for whatever reason. Two life-sucking years and
almost 200 full-color pages later, KnT has spun off Keenspace not only to its own domain, but also to the Modern Tales sister site Graphic Smash, various Modern Tales syndications, and possibly a few unauthorized Comic Reaper thefts. It is viewed in numerous countries throughout the globe, and has been published in, at very least, one language.
