We've Been Spotted

Thought I'd mention here that I stumbled upon the ComixPedia-site's little story about us.
Feel free to read our tiny bit of exposure - the encouraging part is the title: "Probeersel: Kind of Like the Dutch Keenspot"

Dordrecht

Stripfestijn Dordrecht is another big convention where Probeersel.com won't show up. Except for myself - I've gotten myself involved with a new comics magazine called De Lijn (the line), which will have a different theme (and title) for each issue and will feature the work of young and fairly unknown but promising artists. The zero-issue will be introduced at this convention, and I'm currently dotting the i's on my ten-page solo contribution to this, a story called "Reaper, Baby", which will appear on Probeersel.com sometime in the next few weeks as part of The Artificial Real. Since I'm usually the guy who arranges for us to be at a convention (usually meaning that I got 'us' on ClickBurg, and didn't get enough people enthousiastic to get us on the Groningen con) and I'm preoccupied, and since the sales of stands has closed by now (at least to my knowledge), Probeersel.com won't be there. Still, I hope to see some of you - artists ánd...

We have 15 members now. FIFTEEN members ! And 34 comics. And over five hundred unique readers average per day. Wowsah. When I started this site four years ago, I figured we'd get a group of five or six or so artists together and perhaps a few comics. It's all grown so damn big, it's hard to believe. Which makes this very hard for me to write. Because I've always loved the whole Probeersel.com project dearly and I love that it's fairly successful. But I may need to quit. Between Probeersel.com and ClickBurg I'm getting way too busy with everything and I'm more and more exhausted these days. I love every minute of it because both projects really have a heart AND a whole lot of people eagerly supporting it, but I'm really getting overworked. And I want to know that I'm getting overworked for a reason. If not, I may have to consider pulling the plug on some activities and projects, for the sake of my own sanity and wallet. And focus on my comics themselv...

Plagiarism is bad

Rene tells me this is really limited as far as readership is concerned, and I am fully aware of this, but I believe in spreading the word and all that "aware" shit. Also I am very fond of this cartoonist and hate to see a big corporate dickhole exploit that which is not his. So tell your friends. If you haven't heard of this already, here's the deal. Cartoonist Shmorky of Purple Pussy and Something Awful found out a few days ago that Todd "Goliath" has taken a panel from Purple Pussy, recreated it, and placed it on display in a major art gallery claiming it as his own. Legal action is being pursued, and the major opinion is that this hack of David and Goliath T-shirt fame has gone too far in his self-absorbed opinion that, just because he found this image online, nobody would EVER know. Fuck you, mister. For more info, check out Retro Crush . Oh, and be on the lookout for some Penguism!
