Across Oceans, Benson is Born

So almost a decade ago, these two Australian guys decided to put aside their comically oversized knives and make a comic strip. But rather than collaborating in some boring, it's-been-done way like one guy writing it and the other drawing it, they decided to take turns drawing panels one at a time, letting the story take shape organically. As an added bonus, for the last several years, this has been done through the mail between two countries that are over 10,000 miles apart (although they share a Queen). A neat novelty, certainly, and also a way of creating some amusing, irreverent comics that also stay relatively true to the tradition of newspaper funnies. See for yourself with our profile of Benson Comics.
