From web to ... newspapers? The Kansas City Star profiles PVP creator Scott Kurtz , who discusses his recent offer to allow newspapers run his comics for free:

"The theory is that getting in the papers will increase the audience for PVP and lead to increased demand for the books, T-shirts and other products.

"Kurtz doesn't really expect any large metropolitan papers to pick up PVP right away, but there's been interest among college papers and alternative weeklies, which might be better homes.

"'If for no other reason than PVP is not Family Circus,' Kurtz says."
