Bludzee, the Kitten Created by Cartoonist Lewis Trondheim, Launched as a BlackBerry Smartphone Application from Ave!Comics

BlackBerry smartphone users can now enjoy a new innovative and unique comic strip experience while on the go

France - Now users of BlackBerry® smartphones can enjoy reading a comic of Bludzee, a small black kitten with blue eyes, on their handset. Ave!Comics, the Montpellier based company that specializes in publishing and developing comics on smartphones, has created an application for BlackBerry smartphones that allows fans to take the fun and humor of Bludzee wherever they go.

Lewis Trondheim, a cartoonist with a strong following amongst comic fans and bloggers, created Bludzee specifically for reading on a smartphone.

Who is this small black kitten with blue eyes?
Bludzee has been left on his own in a large apartment (his owner has disappeared) so he has to learn how to look after himself… as well as solve the problem of his dwindling supply of dry food. On a daily basis, the reader will discover how this resourceful bundle of fur is doing, thanks to his sense of fun and humour!

Similar to a traditional comic strip, the story of each Bludzee adventure is displayed on the vivid display of a BlackBerry smartphone. Each episode is depicted on the application’s home-screen as a branch of a tree and the user has to simply click on the "strip" to discover a new story.

Bludzee’s adventures are available to BlackBerry smartphone users for only 7.49 € ($9.99) for 1 year.

His adventures will be translated into 19 languages (from French to Spanish to Russian and Japanese). The application is available for download on BlackBerry App World™ (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/email/3796)for the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 and BlackBerry® Storm™ smartphones.
