John Campbell vs. Kate Beaton: War of the Webcomics

… or “Two Artists Enter, Three Walk Out.” What?

Eventually, someone had to step in to mediate. Who better than KC Green (Bee Power, Horribleville)?

Okay, so maybe someone else could’ve done better.

It’s very good natured and quite fun. Frankly, if more wars could be resolved through the power of webcomics … well, I can’t assure you that they’d be less bloody, but at least we all could get a good laugh out of it.

Check out the entire exchange at John Campbell’s blog. Don’t forget to look at the comments!
