We love comic strips so much here at Zingerding that we’re publishing our own. Zingerding Ink is a comic strip about comic strips starring Marilla P. Alligator and Hank DeBird, two professional cartoon characters looking to get their strip established in the world. It takes place in a self-aware environment, meaning the characters know they are in a comic strip.

The strip is a collaboration of Zingerding’s three founders and is drawn by one of them, Steve Lowtwait, a former Nickelodeon cartoonist. Created specifically for the web, Zingerding Ink is 100% digitally drawn which allows for techniques not capable in newspapers.

Follow Marilla and Hank as they pitch themselves to the newspaper syndicates, taking a path familiar to many cartoonists. This is only the beginning so check back for what happens next week.

Enjoy!
