...but still interesting--and local--enough to catch our attention. We're comic hounds here at Dd, particularly Web comics, so it goes without saying that we enjoy the twisted look at nerdism and cubicle wastelands that PvP affords. The strip isn't just Web-only, of course, as anybody who visits Dallas' Zeus Comics knows, where copies of PvP's paper version (and frequent appearances from its North Dallas author Scott Kurtz) are easy to find.

Kurtz took his home-grown creation one step further today by announcing an animated take on PvP set for release next year. Good news at first--particularly the "hand-drawn" bit, as we're sick of overdone Flash animations--though the one-minute sample clip isn't exactly...what's the word...funny? Of course, a one-minute teaser never compares to an episode that takes its time in building characters/stories/fart gags/etc., so here's to hoping that Kurtz's creation finally catches mainstream fire with the help of some animators. -SM
