The web comic community loves Keenspot, whether it’s in complete awe of their presence or a hate born of jealousy.

Yirmumah! – Talk about having a good day. DJ Coffman ran screaming with squeals of delight at the chance to show just one more way why everyone should pay attention. Yesterday Yirmumah joined the Keenspot powerhouse but that’s only half the news. What could be bigger then invitation to one of the most prestigious collectives? Why but winning the Comic Book Challenge from Platinum Studios! His entry is impressive and got my vote and now I’m dying to see what the final product will be.

Superosity – Crosby’s own comic caught the eye of a new animation company which has ordered into production 13 episodes of Angelipups, a 3D computer-animated children’s series based on the show-within-a-strip from Superosity.

Angelipups follows the adventures of a group of winged, candy-colored puppies who live in the sky and are responsible for keeping clouds fluffy.
