Halo and Sprocket Joins Growing List of Comics on Mobile Phones

Kerry Callen's all-ages humor comic Halo and Sprocket is now available for mobile phones through an exclusive agreement with uclick.

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) February 21, 2007 -- Kerry Callen's all-ages humor comic Halo and Sprocket is now available for mobile phones through an exclusive agreement with uclick.

Twice-monthly installments of the hit independent comic, as well as comic book archives, are available through the GoComics Mobile Comic Reader. The series joins a diverse lineup that includes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the sci-fi fantasy hit Godland, the anime horror import Guilstein, the popular web comic PvP, and more. The stars of Halo and Sprocket are also offered in downloadable wallpapers and animations through uclick's GoComics Mobile Store.

"When I created Halo and Sprocket," Callen says, "my goal was to produce something that anyone could enjoy, not just the regular comic book readers. I'm thrilled that it's available on such an accessible format. Hopefully more people can discover its, shall we call it -- quirky charm."

The transition to mobile phones is a natural one for Halo and Sprocket, a versatile comic that has appeared in varied forms since its debut in 2002, including comic books, comic anthologies and newspaper comic strips.

Halo and Sprocket is the story of three roommates: Katie, a young, single woman; Sprocket, a robot who is learning about humanity through Katie; and Halo, the powerful angel who oversees Sprocket's progress. Even the simplest of situations becomes a philosophical digression when Sprocket's strictly logical approach, Halo's metaphysical perspective and Katie's human reason collide. The result is a comic that is often as thought-provoking as it is humorous.

"We're excited to bring this one-of-a-kind comic to mobile phones," says uclick manager of product development, Harold Sipe. "Halo and Sprocket's characteristic blend of humor and philosophy is a welcome addition to the wide spectrum of comic book genres represented in the GoComics lineup."
