It was just this past episode of the Digital Strips Podcast (or the one before that, can’t specifically recall which) that Steve and I were wondering what had happened to this instant homerun of a comic concept. The man behind PvP, originally a gaming-centered gag comic, and the creators of Penny Arcade, itself a comic about video games and the culture they encourage, got together (i.e. walked down the hall to one another) and came up with another gaming comic idea, this time chronicling the depressing life of a video game tester, and it’s called The Trenches.

Remember, that profession that everyone wanted as a kid? Yeah, you don’t want this. It also looks like the blog will feature true horror stories from actual, former testers, so there’s even more to come to the site for than the regular comic update.

Scott Kurtz To Team ~WITH~ Comics Legend, Neal Adams, For Christmas Storyline

From our friends at Fleen (hey, this is the time of sharing and caring), who discovered the news from Bleeding Cool (see?), it seems that Scott Kurtz, who has been jazzing up PvP for months now with a more digital, comic book-y feel, will be pairing with comics legend Neal Adams.

I trust there is some crossover between our webcomics lovers and those of the print variety, so Adams’ name should be one that is instantly recognizable. Known for his grittier, more realistic takes on various heroes for both Marvel and DC Comics, Adams’ contribution to the PvP Xmas arc will likely be minimal, though more in terms of content than the impact he will make on both Kurtz and the comic loving fans that frequent the PvP site.

Next thing you know, Adams has connections with the Academy of Art and Sciences and BAM! Kurtz is hosting the Oscars come 2011. Mark my words, people…

Sure, with webcomics we might all think we’re being cartoonists, but did you know there’s actually a secret world going on, behind-the-scenes, that most of us have never even heard of, let alone secretCartoonistsdreamed about? Now, Scott Kurtz is taking up a bar stool to tell us all about those hidden desires and guarded tales with his latest podcast endeavor, The Secret Life of Cartoonists.

Hear the intrigue! Experience the sordid stories! And listen in as we learn the mystery involved with becoming a successful cartoonist!

Seriously though, if Kurtz can keep rotating through his massive Rolodex of webcomic creators (Gun Show creator KC Green stops by for Episode 3) then this random collection of short stories (fictional or not is your call) could end up being quite the time capsule for the webcomic revolution. And here’s the official description from the PvP site: Continue reading →
