Introducing Pixton, the Interactive Web Comic

Vancouver, Canada – January 18, 2008 –Pixton Comics Inc. announced the launch of Pixton, the premier interactive web comic. Without having to draw, people of all ages can share their ideas, opinions, and stories – publishing them instantly to a worldwide web audience at Pixton.com.

"The Remix is a key feature of Pixton. You can allow others to build on your comic, while leaving the original intact. This creates the potential for mass-collaboration in a creative medium," states Clive Goodinson, creator of Pixton. "We're really excited about building a community, where people can freely express themselves in a common illustrative style."

Pixton.com is free to use. Anyone can view comics that are rated as suitable for a general audience. By signing up online, users can compose their own Pixton characters, dialog, and scenes with an easy-to-use editor, as well as rate content and submit comments.

An intuitive, contextual interface lets users of all ages build a comic quickly and easily, one scene at a time. Pixton characters are created by choosing from preset attributes and expressions, specifying hair and skin color, rotating body parts, and setting height and girth with a drag of the mouse. A rich feature set allows users to insert characters, dialog, props, symbols, and backgrounds; set the background color; flip, rotate, and resize objects; rotate, zoom, and pan the scene cropping; copy and paste characters, expressions, props, and entire scenes.

In the interests of making Pixton a website for people of all ages, Pixton Comics Inc. has taken measures to prevent children under the age of 18 from viewing inappropriate content. Members of the Pixton community are empowered to police the website by voting on whether or not a comic or comment is appropriate for a general audience. Filters also work to detect profanity before content is made public. The "flag" feature allows users to report violations of the Terms and Conditions, for which there is zero-tolerance.
