WELCOME TO PROGRESSIVE BOINK'S SHITTY UNFORMATTED ABOUT PAGE

Progressive Boink is a website full of stuff we write that has no direction in particular. When we launched it on September 9, 2003, the original "About" page stated two objectives: to create the Calvinball of websites, and to be sued by the rights-holders of Calvin & Hobbes so that we could have a shot at meeting Bill Watterson. Universal Press Syndicate did contact us, but requested only that we remove a photo of him. Fair deal.

This site was started on September 9, 2003, by Jon Bois, Brandon Stroud (known as B in these pages), Nick Dallamora, and Justin O'Connor. Our stable of writers gradually expanded to include Emily Rowley, Bill, Mike Westfall, Kyle Daly, Peter Holby, Lindy Kempe, and Bill Hanstock.

The site, which used to update with three articles per week, is no longer regularly updated because the eleven above individuals have regressed into irresponsible no-count sluggards largely moved on to other things. We still expect ourselves to post the occasional article, however.

Perhaps the most well-known Progressive Boink feature is The Dugout, which was started by Jon, B, and Nick in 2004. The feature eventually moved to AOL’s FanHouse and now has a new home at With Leather, where B serves as lead editor.

Jon is an associate editor at SB Nation. You can email him here.

Peter Holby maintains three blogs: Sorry, Everyone, his personal blog; On Sandwiches, his sandwich-oriented blog; and This Is America, Dude, the only blog on the Internet.

Bill contributes to Baseball Feelings, a baseball blog about baseball.
