KEENSPOT GETS AN UPGRADE FOR 2004

Internet's most popular webcomic publisher redesigns logo and website, upgrades hardware, debuts two new webcomics

Temple City, CA, January 20, 2004 - Keenspot Entertainment (http://www.keenspot.com), the most popular publisher of exclusive online comics since its launch in 2000 (currently generating over 70 million impressions and 2.5 million visitors monthly), has debuted a new logo, new website, hardware upgrades, and two new comic features.

The new black, white, and green logo designed by Brad Guigar ("Greystone Inn") has a slick retro feel, featuring a spotlight combined with a comic strip word balloon. "Keenspot's logo had to become more sophisticated to reflect the company's direction," says Guigar. "Keenspot is more than webcomics; it's also books, comic books, comic-related merchandise. Keenspot is getting more serious as a company and the logo had to reflect that."

The new website was redesigned by Josh Lesnick ("girly") and Ian Jones-Quartey ("RPG World") and follows the lead of the new logo in providing a streamlined, attractive, and user-friendly design.

"Friendly Hostility" (http://www.friendlyhostility.com) and "Queen of Wands" (http://www.queenofwands.net) are two webcomics making their debut on the new website.

"Queen of Wands" by Aeire, which began in July 2002 on KeenSPACE (Keenspot's free webhosting service open to all aspiring webcomic creators), chronicles the day-to-day life of "one cynical redhead, her best friend, and her best friend's husband, all living together in one apartment. Real life was never supposed to be this complicated. And it was supposed to have more monkeys."

"Friendly Hostility," from "Boy Meets Boy" creator K. Sandra Fuhr, follows the adventures of Fox, a college student dealing with "parasitic amoeboid aliens, a significant other who wants to conquer the world, and being related to an inventor, an ex-dancer, and a satanic priest. Can Fox drive the getaway car and still keep his GPA above 3.0?"

"We're in the midst of a major hardware upgrade that should result extremely fast serving and very little downtime for 2004," says Nate Stone, Keenspot Chief Technical Officer. "When that project is finished, many upgrades to our system will be implemented as well as a bevy of new features and potential revenue streams. We're all very excited."
