Looks like the Diesel Sweeties are coming to the physical world of newspapers.

Starting on January 8, 2007 Diesel Sweeties is going to be running in newspapers through United Feature Syndicate. These syndicated strips will also be showing up on comics.com, A.K.A. the best URL ever. Web-only and archived strips will still be here, same as always. We signed the papers a couple weeks ago and I’m still kind of shell-shocked. I’m working hard to finish the sample strips. The newspaper comics are going to be all-new strips with the same characters, seven days a week.

The coolest part is that rstevens’ gets to retain his copywrite as well as continue to have full control over his t-shirt business and offer exclusive web content. It’s pure gravy and can only make DS better.
