Keenvulsions?
A little while ago, I announced Gisele and I were coming back to Keenspot.
Then Paul Southworth, David Willis, Steve Troop, Kristofer Straub and Paul Taylor all announced they were leaving. And Brad Guigar announced the end of Greystone Inn. (And then he announced he was leaving Keenspot while I was writing this post.)
I am forced to conclude that we have cooties.
But seriously, we're not the only strip to join recently. (Perhaps Mad About U has cooties.) And when I first joined Keenspot its roster had 40 strips to today's 64. I don't know what the healthiest size is for a company like Keenspot, but I think a period of constriction is natural about now. Still, it's clear that popular perceptions of the company are changing.
Websnark is on the case, and quoting History of Webcomics to draw its conclusions, a fact I find both flattering and intimidating. It is certainly an interesting time to be writing that history...
