Dean Trippe writes to announce a new all–ages webcomics collective, LUNCHBOX:
We’re announcing the launch of a new comics collective featuring some of the finest all-ages comics on the internet, Lunchbox Funnies!
The term “all-ages” has become something of a mantra for our creators. We’ve each been working towards creating highly entertaining comics that can be enjoyed by beginning readers, teenagers, and adults alike. We’re convinced that “all-ages” doesn’t mean “just for kids,” but rather it’s a label that should apply to entertainment that allows for shared experiences across generational lines. Our creators benefited greatly from quality all-ages entertainment growing up, but these days stories that can be enjoyed by children and adults seems incredibly rare.
Lunchbox Funnies wants to change that.
Our comics:
* Aki Alliance by Ryan Estrada
* Astronaut Elementary by Dave Roman
* Butterfly by Dean Trippe
* Cow & Buffalo by Mike Maihack
* Lunchbox by Ovi Nedelcu
* Silent Kimbly by Ryan Sias
* Wally & Osborne by Tyler Martin
* Zip and Li’l Bit by Trade LoefflerAt the Lunchbox Funnies website (http://lunchboxfunnies.com), you’ll find links, news, and information for each of our comics and creators. Please feel free to contact Tyler Martin at [email protected] for further information.
More backgraound at Newsarama:
The idea of Lunchbox Funnies originated with Tyler Martin of Wally & Osborne, who fleshed it out with friends and fellow cartoonists Sias and Trippe. The strategy of having a comic collective is that with a more unified front and common thread, the group can create more awareness of each of their all-ages comics. “Comic collectives can serve a good purpose in a market that competes for attention, much like Voltron; a group of like-minded creators can form together to become a new superpower,” said Martin.
Also, another new LJ based collective has launched entitled SUGARSKULL. More details when they become available.
So glad to see this happen. We need MORE all-ages material…. and no, not just for kids, but for everyone.
