Daily Cartoonist: Bill Kellogg Launches Syndicate

Alan Gardner at The Daily Cartoonist has a nice piece up about Bill Kellogg launching what seems to be sort of comics mini-syndicate, called Ink Bottle. Kellogg is known as the guy who grew Chad Carpenter's Tundra into a 450-client sales success. A few things about this new effort seem worth noting. It's limited to comics. Kellogg is only going to represent a limited number of strips. Getting out of the Ink Bottle contract if something comes along that sounds better seems to be pretty easy, which should benefit both sides over the long run. Gardner also notes that Ink Bottle will be publishing its offerings on-line on a two-week delay, a standard strategy to allow newspapers the latest work while still allowing folks to sample the represented comics in a central, easy-to-find location.

Strips currently represented are Carpenter's Tundra, That Monkey Tune (Michael Kandalaft), Sunshine State (Graham Nolan), Holy Molé (Rick Hotton), Biz (Dave Blazek), Future Shock Comics (Jim and Pat McGreal), Half Baked (Rick Ellis) and 15 Minutes (Robert Duckett). The syndicate launched Monday.
