Kevin and Kell is an
online comic written and drawn by Bill Holbrook, about a family of
intelligent animals and their
friends. It has been running since
1995. The two main characters are
Kevin, a
rabbit and
herbivore, and Kell, a
wolf and
carnivore. The story goes that they met in an
online chatroom and fell in
love before they realised that they were from opposite ends of the
food chain. Kevin and Kell live with Kevin's
adopted hedgehog daughter Lindesfarne, Kell's son Rudy and their daughter Coney, a
carnivorous rabbit. There is a lot of information (and daily strips) to be found at http://www.kevinandkell.com and http://www.herdthinners.com.
Kevin and Kell has a certain amount of geek appeal, mostly because Kevin and many of the other characters work at an ISP Hare Link or do Internet related jobs. Kell, on the other hand, works for the very jock-like Herd Thinners, Inc., a supplier of meat to carnivores.
The artist, Bill Holbrook, is better known for On the Fastrack a widely syndicated comic and Safe Havens another well known strip. He claims that Kevin and Kell is supposed to be a strip about how opposites can relate.
This comic's main drawback is that the use of anthropomorphism is slightly disturbing. This is mostly due the interspecies relationships, the mechanics of which can be quite hard to imagine. Many claim that this strip is aimed at furries, which is very possible. It quite deeply examines the sort of predator-prey relationships popular in furry culture. In my opinion Kevin and Kell is a good online comic, but is outclassed by many other strips availiable from sites such as keenspot.
