MELBOURNE – Tuesday 16 December, 2008 – The Matt Kelly Show, which is heading into its third season, will take up ‘online residence’ in a new home – www.mattkellyshow.com. Produced by Robtot Media, the first ‘new look’ episode of the season will appear this week and will relieve fans of tension created by the series final cliff hanger of Season Two.

“At the completion of the first season, which we launched in 2007 under the loose name ‘MyMedia Comics’, I really didn’t intend to continue with the comic. However, pretty soon after the series had ended, we were being plagued by fans and fellow employees who demanded a season return,” commented Matt Kelly, ‘Star’ and Creator of The Matt Kelly Show.

“The company management even jumped on the ‘bring it back’ band wagon and we started working on season two. Ironically, I started the comic as a way for me to procrastinate at work – and get away with it – and all of a sudden it had a following,” he added.
The Matt Kelly Show follows the lives of Matt and his friends as they navigate the social pitfalls of work and life. From dealing with the bureaucratic nature of office management, to battling with ‘rock star’ aspirations, The Matt Kelly Show is closer to being a prime time sitcom than a web comic.
The series, which is written and drawn by Matt Kelly, delivers lengthy comics on a weekly basis and features on going storylines with ‘geeky undertones’ that will make you laugh. As such, the series has found a place in the hearts and online viewing habits of many.
In Season Two, the series branched out to include ‘celebrity guest stars’, with guest stars invited to contribute to both the writing and character design of their comic characters. The show also regularly features guest writers, who are invited to take part throughout the season.
The Matt Kelly Show is back for Season Three – even bigger and more ‘brazen’ than before and ready to let loose the chaos of a whole new season in its own special part of cyberspace.
“It always amazes me how far the series has come. I remember when we kicked off that I would look at the stats and get excited when just a handful of people read the comics. I never thought we’d have enough readership to make the idea of giving the series its own site a realistic one,” Matt commented.

Of the whole ‘comic character concept, Matt says, “There’s the odd day when I think it was probably a bad idea to make myself a comic character, but all up it’s a lot of fun. If worst comes to worst, maybe I’ll go have some serious surgery done, change my identity, call myself Octavio Jenkins and let comic Matt Kelly live on as his own identity while Octavio Jenkins works as a slave to his adventures. I’m sure some movie did that… it worked out well right?”
