Banishville: Banish Ed and Squaresville Cross-over All This Week
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 23, 2004 - 12:52
Banish Ed and Squaresville have teamed-up to create "Banishville," a week-long storyline that runs on both sites (it began yesterday, March 22nd). The strips are not only being co-written by Erik and Kenny, but they are also splitting the artistic duties on every strip! Half of the strips are penciled by Erik and finished by Kenny, and the other half are just the opposite. The result is a storyline with a truly unique visual feel, and humor that is the best of both worlds.

Alternative Pages: Fan Art with A Difference
Submitted by Al Schroeder on September 27, 2003 - 12:08
Bailey of END TIMES took Al Schroeder, the creator of MINDMISTRESS, up on his request for other webcomic artists to redraw one of his pages. You can see the results here. (please note there is a link both on the page, and if you click on the picture it will take you to END TIMES also.)
It's fan art with a difference, and a quite delightful way to see other artist's takes on some of the original characters. On his Alternative Pages Al Schroeder invites any other interested and talented artists to similarly take one of the MINDMISTRESS pages and redraw it in his or her own style.

The Swaps Keep Coming!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 1, 2003 - 02:48
R Stevens lays it all out on his website:
April Fool's comic swaps of one type or another are possibly the oldest tradition among web comics! Jeff Rowland of Wigu called me up to swap strips a couple hours before publication... and how the hell am I supposed to reject him! He's been in this game since before there was even a DS.
Other notable swaps today: PVP and Penny-Arcade.

User Friendly and Superosity: Dust Puppy visits Superosity-land.
Bobbins and Waiting For Bob: The Bobbins crew met up with Waiting for Bob's Bernie and Sean.
Bobbins and Goats: Jon from Goats meets Holly from Bobbins. Small sparks gain a little altitude. Later Jon and Philip actually make it to England.
2000
When I Grow Up and Waiting For Bob: Zoe investigates Sean.
Bobbins and Superosity: Holly and Shelley visit Boardy and Bobby goes to England. Somewhere along the way Professor Ash shows up.
2001
When I Grow Up and Diesel Sweeties: Roger finds true robot love! (not entirely sure where in the DS archives its half is)
I'm sure there's lots more I'm forgetting - feel free to post more classic crossovers below. Thanks!
