Platinum Launches SPLASTIK Cartoon Network - Affiliation with Keenspot?
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on December 18, 2007 - 10:04
Saw a press release from Platinum Studios this morning (parent company of webcomic site DrunkDuck) announcing launch of SPASTIK (flattering name, that one) which looks to be basically a webtoon site. Interestingly it lists a number of other webcomic-related sites as "affiliates" on its front page, one of which is rival webcomic site Keenspot's Keentoons site.Â
