Keenspot claims to be the largest publisher of exclusive webcomics on the Internet. Founded in February 2000 as an invitation-only site by cartoonists Chris Crosby (author of Superosity) and Darren Bleuel (author of Nukees), it is the home to more than 50 comics covering many genres and artistic styles.
Keenspot also owns Comic Genesis (formerly Keenspace), a free online hosting service for independent cartoonists. It also has branched out into print publishing with several comic books and compilations. It sells a "premium" subscription to Keenspot which allows comics to be read without ads.
The company says that it keeps exclusive web publishing rights to its comics, including archives, but that other rights are left with the creators. Side projects, particularly merchandising deals, are covered separately. KeenSpot Entertainment is based in Cresbard, South Dakota.
Keenspot has also launched 2 podcasts, a cartoon podcast, called Keen Toons and an audio podcast called KeenCAST.
Keenspot also publishes the Keenspot Comics Page in collaboration with the Turlock Journal and several other small newspapers.
