Frank & Ernest


Frank and Ernest, one of America's favorite comic strips, also has an excellent web site. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the strip or the site, here's a summary:

Frank and Ernest star two 'everyman' characters — with above-it-all, below-it-all perspective. The strip touches on a wide variety of subjects and characters can be manifest as anything, in any time period. Word play, beginning with title, adds extra entertainment value.

This is the first site for a syndicated strip to feature characters in 3-D and to offer interactive comics based on strips first published in the newspaper. It also includes the largest on-line database for syndicated property — over 2,300 images which are searchable by keyword and date.

On-line sales and reprints are coming soon. Additional content includes a caption contest, sweepstakes for readers of each paper, opportunities to win original art, free greeting cards, bulletin boards, animated GIFs, FAQ's and links to other sites. A portion of any net revenue generated from the site will be donated at the International Museum of Cartoon Art.
