Taking Up Space made it's debut as an Altbrand feature in the Spring of 2002. By popular demand of a few persistent readers, the comic returned as a twice a week feature on KeenSpace in August. In October the comic strip will be appearing Monday-Friday in the Stanford Daily News.

What people have said...

  • " ...Peanuts for the new millenium."--Phil Cho, Skinny Panda,
  • "I have always been a sucker for 'Bloom County'-esque comics, and Taking Up Space is right up there with Mr. Breathed in my book".--Chris Furniss 'the Necronomicon'
  • " I like it a lot. This may sound inherently evil, but I like it more than Todd & Penguin. I think the cast is more diverse, more attractive, and you were successful in creating mounds of sympathy for these characters in such a short amount of time. The pathos they exude is boggling"--Case Yorke, Gluemeat
