6 | Bill Holbrook's ''[[http://www.kevinandkell.com/ Kevin And Kell]]'' is a UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} comic and one of the [[WebcomicsLongRunners longest running webcomics on the net]], running without hiatus since September 1995. (Doubly impressive, since Holbrook also does two syndicated newspaper comics which are also LongRunners: ''[[http://www.safehavenscomic.com/ Safe Havens]]'' and ''[[http://www.onthefastrack.com/ On the Fastrack.]]'') The series began as a weekday-only black-and-white strip. It went full-color and fully daily in July 2000. |

10 | * Kevin Dewclaw (Rabbit) -- TheBigGuy, runs an ISP out of their basement |
11 | * Kell Dewclaw (Wolf) -- ActionMom, MamaBear, Corporate Executive |
12 | * Lindesfarne Dewclaw (Hedgehog) -- Kevin's (adopted) daughter from his first marriage. {{Mad Scientist}}-in-training, secretly formerly human |
13 | * Rudy Dewclaw (Wolf/Fox) -- Kell's son from her first marriage, teenager, [[YoungGun Alpha Male]]-in-training |
14 | * Coney Dewclaw (Rabbit/Wolf) -- Kevin and Kell's daughter, [[TykeBomb already at the top of the food chain]] |

16 | The comic is mostly a SliceOfLife comic, first dealing with the world's (dis)approval of K & K's "mixed" marriage, then moving into dealing with their (increasingly) extended family (assorted inlaws, co-workers, and friends), with occasional forays into special arcs (like the [=Y2K=] storyline). While massive plot arcs have largely faded out after 2004, occasional multi-week plots still crop up from time to time. |
17 | |
18 | Technically no longer a WebComic, as Holbrook's native Atlanta Journal-Constitution picked it up in 2004, though the internet remains its primary form of distribution. It was nearly pulled in 2009, but a massive surge of reader support kept the comic in the paper, with the caveat of Sunday strips changing their format to be shorter and vertical in layout. |

20 | Not to be confused with the similarly-named TV show, ''Series/KenanAndKel''. Talks of an [[AnimatedAdaptation animated]] [[http://write2wow.web.officelive.com/NEWSLETTER.aspx Kevin And Kell TV series]] have been [[DevelopmentHell on and off in recent years]]. |
