On the heels of the February 28th news that Crosby Comics had acquired complete control of the company, Keenspot has announced a new system that allows Keenspot creators to retain and control 100% of the advertising revenue they generate for their sites. Cartoonist Tiffany Ross, who left in 2006, has enthusiastically rejoined Keenspot in response.

"With the rise of highly-effective new ad networks and exchanges, we believe few know better than a comic's creator about how to maximize their ad sales and target the best-paying ads to their site," said Chris Crosby, CEO of Keenspot. "Combine that with the strong community and promotional aspects of Keenspot, and the new system seems to make for a winning formula. As our members freely share knowledge on how to generate optimal ad revenue, Keenspot drives traffic to their sites using our multiple promotional venues."

Half Assed

Hey! Just to let everyone know, on Thursday, July 19th, there's a special comic preview of my new webcomic which is called Half Assed. HA is basically about me, totally autobiographical, and it's a return for me to do more of a four paneled humor based strip on a Monday-Friday schedule (which I intend upon keeping).

Again, it's 100% about me. Not at all fiction. Not one little bit made up. For real.

The reason I'm showing it a bit early (I don't plan on launching officially until late summer) is that with all the hype surrounding the Harry Potter Book Seven release (you may have heard about it?) I realized this is the last opportunity to write something about the experience of buying a new Harry Potter book. About waiting in line with your friends and the whole fun atmosphere it involves. Things don't work out for me, non-fictionally, of course, as you will see when you read the panels I have provided.
