'''''Kevin & Kell''''' is your [[typical]] [[unfunny]] run-of-the-mill [[furfag]] [[webcomic]] that caused much [[butthurt]] and retarded editing wars on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] in early [[2009]], [[2010]] and again in [[2012]]. The comic itself started long before [[last Thursday]] - all the way back in 1995, almost a decade before ED, and it still manages to retain an embarrassingly small fanbase. The persistent vandalism of this previously minor and forgettable article has proven the truism that as the number of 30 something unemployable furries living in their parents basement increases, the probability of 24/7 nerd rage approaches 1. This comic is so pathetic that its fandom vandalization of ED is a rare instance in which the furries came to the [[trolls]] instead of vice-versa.

Kevin and Kell began in 1993, a time when the [[Super Nintendo]] was still new and [[Michael Jackson]] was just forming his creepy image, by '''Bill Holbrook''' following his creation of two other successful comics. At first, he tried to get the publishers of his other strips to publish Kevin & Kell, but they knew crap when they saw it, so they rejected it. He tried for two years to find publishers until eventually giving up and self-publishing online. He now claims it went online as an experiment. Kevin & Kell was eventually published in a few magazines in the late '90s, such as Boardwatch Magazine and even Playboy. However, though these publications found the strip interesting at first, they quickly lost interest and dropped it.
Eventually, Bill managed to get one newspaper to publish it, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. They were going to can it as well, but he literally begged his fans to whine to them by telling them how to cheat on an online poll so that it could stay. Unfortunately, it worked. Currently, Bill is trying to get Kevin & Kell adapted into a cartoon series so he can traumatize all the little kids with furry images. In 2001, he pitched the idea to Cartoon Network, [[DO NOT WANT|who quickly rejected his proposal]]. He then looked into producing his own cartoons with [[Flash]], but after realizing that this would actually require some effort, he gave up on that. [[Bullshit|He claims, however, that he is in contact with a certain unnamed television producer who's interested in Kevin & Kell.]] He's been saying that for five years now. What's the [[Butt plug|hold-up]], Bill?

*Bill actually has two successful comic strips, ''On The Fastrack'' and ''Safe Havens''. They have been running since the mid-'80s, and are actually published in real newspapers. They don't involve furry characters, and don't get much attention from him despite their far more successful status, because they don't satisfy his need for yiff.

===Critical Reception===
===Critical Reception===
Most furries dislike ''Kevin & Kell'', albeit for stupid reasons (no graphic sex scenes or fetish fuel). The average furry regards it as a sad wannabe Sunday comic strip that lacks any potential and can only entertain a lobotomized retard. Holbrook has even been denied entry into furry conventions like DragonCon. Do not let the comic's longevity fool you. Not only is ''Kevin & Kell'' agonizingly unfunny, it is also the only furry comic to ever exist in which the main characters are [[heterosexual]]; therefore, it does not accurately reflect the sexual orientation of furry fandom, unlike [[Softpaw Magazine|other, far more successful comics]].
Since its creation, Kevin and Kell been mainly been given positive reviews, although there has also been some criticism. Resident Zompist.com comic reviewer "Bob" praises the way the comic is written and illustrated, and its dealings with difficult issues such as divorce and death. However, he criticizes its suburban nature, saying: "All the family crises are defused within a week or two. No one has any aspirations besides a computer-related job and a quiet heterosexual romance. There seem to be no cities, no foreign nations, no art, no teenage sex."[40] Another review from Disjointed Ramblings comments on the use of satire in the comic, writing that "while the satire is usually gentle, there's plenty of it."[41]
If it wasn't for Kevin & Kell's association with the furry fandom the webcomic would be nothing more than a boring and unnoticed blip on the Internet. However, the fact that it includes furries automatically provides it with an undiscerning audience with no capability of judging shit as shit due to their inability to form legitimate critical opinions. Most of K&K's fans follow a generic routine of praising every facet of Holbrook's uninspired artwork, overused jokes, and [[lies|deep plotline]]. Holbrook uses this to his advantage and influences the ranks of lowly unread webcomic reviewers to favorably list his artistic cum rag. For anyone who isn't a furry though, barring other groups of fucktards, it is not as easy to be fooled by this mediocre joke recycling sham like the gullible furries and most recognize it as the shitty drab it actually is.
Brandon Sanderson's review in The Official Time Waster's Guide cites the comic's world design, longevity and a discomforting setting where intelligent animals are killed as strengths. However, Sanderson also complained that Holbrook does not enforce this aspect in the main characters, saying, "While Kell, Rudy, and others make kills every day, none of the main character herbivores ever really have to worry about being stalked and killed. When they are threatened (such as when Lindesfarne is stalked by some cougars near the beginning of the comic's run),[42] the enemy predators are presented as dark, evil things to be defeated.…This sense of careless, off-handed killing gives the comic a lot of its humor—however, to maintain that air of humor, Bill never allows the society to work its everyday worst on any of the main characters."[43]
During a review in webcomic podcast Digital Strips, commentator Daku describes Kevin and Kell as "one of the few anthropomorphic strips that I actually like," saying that "this is as if animals had a society." Zampzon praises the quality of the artwork, but complains that the strip relies on too many animal jokes.[44]
|[[Yiff|Holbrook has fallen in love with his characters]], and can no longer bear to make them suffer. The inevitable result: Holbrook no longer works to make us like the characters; [[USI|he just basks in the assumption that everybody already does]].|[http://www.zompist.com/bob30.html It is not only EDiots who find this comic crap.]

Kevin and Kell and Holbrook are both popular within the furry fandom. Holbrook was first contacted by the fandom in late 1995, soon after the strip was published. He attended his first furry convention, ConFurence, in January 1997. Holbrook holds an annual "Kevin and Kell patron social" at Anthrocon for people who sponsor the strip.[36] Holbrook also works occasionally with other cartoonists, both furry and non-furry, and characters from his strip make cameos in other strips. Examples include Ozy and Millie,[45] General Protection Fault,[46] PartiallyClips,[47] and Schlock Mercenary.[48].
|In a good tradition of newspaper comic, it repeats the same few jokes all over again for years. Characters are too-much black/white, so much that it's annoying.|Fan criticism.
}}</center>
|I was totally indifferent (re: ignorant) to furries until I read two Kevin and Kell strips and watched that AIDS-ridden musical video. Now I want the whole lot of you to be sterilized.|[[User:Rbuchanan|Roberto]]
|If I remember correctly Kevin and Kell wasn't even made by a furry, and of course doesn't even fit in amongst "furrydom" since none of the characters are having their asses inflated with "yiffy" or "murrypurry" bike pumps or go on about the "knot", so you'd have to wonder why furries would try to associate with the comic other than a desperate attempt to try to take credit for it.
Also I should probably add that it's ironic that the "kevin and kell defense squad" is horribly homophobic and "he" or "they" throw around the word fag like it's a fad, understandably it'd be a sign of butthurt but considering that only ~22% of furries are straight (in the last survey) they should know enough not to resort to fag namecalling.|[[User:FrizzleFry43|FrizzleFry43]]
Bill Holbrook (born 1958) is an American cartoonist and webcomic writer and artist, best known for his syndicated comic strip On the Fastrack.
}}</center>
Born in Los Angeles, Holbrook grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, and began drawing at an early age. While majoring in illustration and visual design at Auburn University, Holbrook served as art director of the student newspaper, doing editorial cartoons and a weekly comic strip. At the same time, his work was being published in the Huntsville Times and the Monroe Journal. After graduation in 1980, he joined the Atlanta Constitution as an editorial staff artist.
==The Creator==
During a 1982 visit to relatives on the West Coast, Holbrook met Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz. Following his advice and encouragement, Holbrook created a strip in the fall of that year about a college graduate working in a rundown diner. It did not stir syndicate interest, but what he learned on the strip helped him when he created On the Fastrack.
Like all furry webcomic artists, ''Kevin & Kell'' creator Bill Holbrook relies entirely on monetary handouts from his lobotomized fanbase. Unlike most furry webcomic artists Holbrook has two other successful non-furry comics, this is because he keeps up the appearance of not living a [[Allan|desperately lonely life]] only concerned with making money to buy faux fur to add to his blow-up doll collection, which makes the fact that his fanbase is still willing to pay for these shit-stains even worse. Bill routinely uses his own family members in his comic including his two daughters Chandler and Haviland (whom have the worst names ever conceived.) Unlike most of his readers he attended college at Auburn, Alabama which means his degree is worth less than the paper it's printed on. Bill enjoys spending his donations on personal gifts, writing his own wikipedia article, and trying to convince people his worthless comic has a future of relevance of which he fails at.
Eleven days before On the Fastrack made its syndicated debut (March 19, 1984), Holbrook met Teri Peitso on a blind date. They were married on Pearl Harbor Day, 1985. They have two daughters, Chandler and Haviland. Peitso-Holbrook's novels have been nominated for both Edgar Awards and Agatha Awards. She is currently an assistant professor in literacy education at Georgia State University. The family lives in the Atlanta area.

Sorry; I hope you understand, and that you'll continue to enjoy "K&K."|Bill, inadvertently admitting that he can't make a profit off of this dogshit while insulting his brain-dead fans}}
In October 1989, Holbrook began his second strip, Safe Havens, and his third strip, Kevin and Kell was launched in September 1995.[1]

[[Image:KK Comment 2.PNG|thumb|<center>Oddly enough, saying that Holbrook DOESN'T like hot animal anus is slander.</center>]]
In late March 2009, an unusually persistent group of vandals repeatedly attempted to blank the [[furry]] article. '''The Kevin & Kell Defense Squad''' ([[cool|a title that they themselves invented]]) are a couple of whiny [[faggots]] who have been defacing the [[furry]] article ([[Desktop_Modding|among]] [[Chantelle_Steadman|others]]) with [[shit]]. Evidently, the most hardcore furry [[buttsecks]] did not leave them as [[butthurt]] as the pages here on ED.
It's suspected that the most persistent vandal of all is actually Bill Holbrook himself:
*The username and e-mail address share similarities: specifically, all of them end with at least a single "1".
*Most of the sockpuppets refer to some sort of giant rabbit; the main character in his comic is a giant rabbit.
:*[[Mary Sue|Bill's characters are also based on his own family.]]
*One of his colleagues ([[Cunt|webmaster Chris Kohler]]) has experience in creating new proxies and IP addresses.
*Nobody else gives a mouse-sized [[shit]] about this online cunt smear.
Because the ED [[sysops]] [[anti-lulz|know shit when they see it]], previous articles about ''Kevin & Kell'' were swiftly [[deleted|flushed down the shitter]], wrongly leading Holbrook to believe that [[Fail|he had won]] (despite the fact that their original objective was to have the [[furry]] article removed).
|Kevin and Kell is the greatest web comic of all time. It was started on September 3, 1995, and is among the oldest web comics still in existence to this day.
"Kevin and Kell is a humorous, light-hearted comic based around Kevin and Kell Dewclaw, a married couple consisting of a rabbit and wolf, respectively, who have a son, Rudy, and two daughters, Lindesfarne and Coney. Kevin runs an ISP out of his house, and most storylines revolve around slice-of-life situations that often play off of the fact that all of the characters are animals.
Kevin and Kell was voted Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip in the 2003 Ursa Major Awards."
That doesn't really do this strip justice, as it is ingenious beyond anything seen in things like Garfield and Peanuts, and it's creativity is beyond what most would see in an online strip like this.|The copypasta they vandalize with.

—Holbrook, apty describing his successful comic.
Bill actually has two successful comic strips, On The Fastrack and Safe Havens. They have been running since the mid-'80s, and are actually published in real newspapers. They don't involve furry characters, and don't get much attention from him despite their far more successful status, because they don't satisfy his need for yiff.
Based on the informed gathered above, it's safe to say he has a secret stash of Kevin & Kell porn that he jerks off to every night, whilst cackling maniacally.
