GU Comics
''GU Comics'' is a single panel webcomic written, drawn, and colored by William "Woody" Hearn. Established July 10, 2000〔(Origin of GU Comics (1st Strip) ) Posted July 10, 2000〕 and launched August 15, 2000,〔(Launch of GU Comics ) Posted August 15, 2000〕 GU is published, free, five times a week on its own web site (hosted by (the SafeHouse )). The comic focuses on a single video game such as World of Warcraft; but, it also comments on gaming industry and community news, often lampooning gamers in general through the adventures of Hearn and his fictional roommate, Ted, and occasionally parodies contemporary social, political, and personal issues related to the online and general video game world. In recent months Hearn has focused primarily on writing comics revolving around various pen-and-paper role playing games; it is unclear if Hearns actually takes part in these games or if he simply finds humor in D&D sourcebooks over PC MMO games.
==History==
GU Comics was first released to a small group of friends on July 10, 2000.〔(Origin of GU Comics (1st Strip) ) Posted July 10, 2000〕 Then known as "/gu ...", the original comics were set inside the MMOG fantasy world of EverQuest and centered on the in-game antics of the artist and members of his guild (Purifying Light on Vallon Zek). Intended only as a hobby, the comic's link was passed around to various EverQuest related community sites (Evercrest.Com being chief among them). On July 25, GU was contacted by the GameFan/Game Answer Network with an offer of affiliation and a proposal to go "live". Now hosted on the GameFan/Game Answer Network, GU was released for wide public consumption August 15, 2000.〔(Launch of GU Comics )〕 The response was swift and significant. Since its inception GU has change hosts for various reasons. February 4, 2003, GU moved to its current home: (the Safehouse ).
On February 5, 2003, signifying the move to the Safehouse and a shift in interest to the wider gaming world rather than focusing specifically on EverQuest, the slash and ellipses were officially dropped from the GU logo. As of April 9, 2007 the format of the comic was shifted from 300x465 to 600x450. Along with the format shift the logo, and comic type sub-text was removed from the strip.
