Comic Genesis Forums

i want to know which one is the oldest. i know that spare change is pretty old (hehe, geezer), but what about other geriatric keeners?
is there any place to get some history lessons about this wonderful community?

That one's easy: How not to run a webcomic! It starts in 1994!

If Warren is the second oldest spacer...

He's the second age-wise. Ghastly is the oldest.

I have the curiosity too. Who IS THE FIRST KEENSPACER AFTERALL?

yes yes, i'd like to know the oldest COMIC on keenspace. that's what i meant. i thought warren was old COMIC-Wise, not age wise. that was me not reading between lines.
but really, is there a place to find this out?

Well keenspace started in the year 2000. I can't give you the oldest comic, but I can give you a list of the oldest comics.

This is the list of keenspace comics in the oldest archived keenspace page.

How about among the active, or semi active, forumites who has the oldest comic?

It's on comixpedia. Although I'm not sure exactly where.

Oh geesh. Do I have to point this out?

Stalag '99. Sept 5th, 1999

That's before KeenSpace even EXISTED!!!! I moved my comic from Geocities to KeenSpace! Now is that old or what?

Does it matter? I don't think my question implied that it did.

No, I actually debated it for at least a month before I finally signed up. And then I must have waited a couple weeks before I transferred stuff over to my 'space mirror.

And for the most part, I'm still very happy to be a 'spacer. No loyalty to the 'space, my ass.

I actually first posted Mansion of E strips on my own site back in late 1999, but no one saw them and I gave up on it for a couple of years. Then I finally got back into it and piled up enough of an archive that it was worth moving in here. I re-did all of the '99 strips when I moved, but I still go back and look at them sometimes. Pretty awful; it's just as well no one read them...

So, what, Striker has the oldest keenspace comic still running? Congrats!

My first comic is dated 1983. I used it for a gag.

boxjam and chopping block were moved to keenspot

Jackies Fridge is still running

It's not possible to figure out what was first, since the information from the signups pre 2003 has not existed for quite some time.

If you -really care-

The entries in the DB seem to be chronological, however, there is no gaurantee they are:

Wow. Fun times.
