Blank Label Comics is a collective of web comics whose creators have banded together for mutual assistance and promotion. The Blank Label Comics website officially went online on May 23, 2005.
All of the comics had previously been hosted on Keenspot. The fact that several titles were leaving Keenspot simultaneously aroused some comment on web comic message boards.
The original members were Brad Guigar, Paul Southworth, Kristofer Straub, Paul Taylor, Steve Troop, and David Willis, with Greg Dean and Dave Kellett joining June 22, 2005, and Howard Tayler on October 19, 2005.
On November 1, 2007, Kris Straub, Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett left Blank Label Comics to join Straub's studio effort with Scott Kurtz, Halfpixel.com.
Famous quotes containing the words blank and/or label:
“Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China’s 600 million people is that they are “poor and blank.” This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“... beauty, like ecstasy, has always been hostile to the commonplace. And the commonplace, under its popular label of the normal, has been the supreme authority for Homo sapiens since the days when he was probably arboreal.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
