| The idea of the Guest Strip Project began half way through The Kid's Book Project. The Kid's Book Project was meerly artists trying to continue a story on without seeing all the pages which was quite hard and the results showed. So the idea of the artists seeing all the pages but instead of continuing a storyline they could make it their own somehow sprang about and the Guest Strip Project was born. All in aid for the Make-A-Wish International Foundation, the Guest Strip Project featured over 100 webcomic artists (as well as ordinary artists) creating just one strip per artist.
Webcomics are known for having guest weeks or guest months where artists that are fans or even new artists get a chance to submit their artwork, allowing both sites to pimp their own webcomics. The same applied here but instead of a guest week or a guest month it was a guest year - allowing different talent across the board.
The characters and the strips concept were originally conceived by Christopher Baldwin (from Little Dee), the first strip's creator and therefore the creator of all the characters.
