Down South is the weekly comic strip created by cartoonist Stephen Enzweiler. It chronicles the lives of northerners Gordon and Maude living among a cast of quirky, offbeat, down home characters who populate the little southern town of Kudzuville. With a quiet humor possessing all the
grace and charm of a freight train, the strip and its characters take aim at the personal
contradictions and eccentricities that we all share.
Since it first appeared in print in the June 2007 issue of Y'all Magazine, readership has grown faster than kudzu on Miracle Grow. On February 15, 2008, he strip made the move to the internet. Readership grew even more drammatically, with its main readership base in the United States and Canada.
Along the way, the website underwent several marked changes to keep up with reader interests, including its debut on Facebook and Twitter and adding a Down South Shop where readers can acquire prints of their favorite strips.
On February 15, 2009, Down South celebrated it's first anniversary on the web, followed by its second anniversary in print on June 1, 2009. As it grew, the cartoon expanded from its original single panel format to a "strip" format in late 2008, and now appears as an online Sunday comic strip with an email subscription readership. Today, Down South is reaches an estimated 2.5 million people in both print and online.
Down South is published and distributed by Down South Comics, LLC.
