Brevity Enjoys Solid Launch

image

Brevity, a new comics feature offered starting this week as a panel or as a more traditional strip, seems to have launched strongly with 75 papers. This is a really good launch in a market like this one. It all depends on the size of the publications involved, but that's a big enough client list to make more than a minimum syndicate contract, which makes Brevity likely to stick around, at least for a while.

The feature's team of Guy Endore-Kaiser and Rodd Perry I believe got their first exposure via an on-line effort, which is sort of an interesting potential trend as well.

I had written something earlier about the strip/panel's launch in terms of not being able to find art for it, and I meant to re-post it, but I spent much of the holiday in a sugar coma inducd by a diet consisting of nothing but cheap breakfast roll orange frosting spooned into my mouth with a candy cane. Now of course you can start looking at it here.

It's also worth noting that Get Fuzzy continues to pick up clients. I think that one is solidly in the "hit" category now.
