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:
“... when I exclaim against novels, I mean when contrasted with those works which exercise the understanding and regulate the imagination.—For any kind of reading I think better than leaving a blank still a blank, because the mind must receive a degree of enlargement and obtain a little strength by a slight exertion of its thinking powers ...”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
