From the wiki's homepage:

> *"Welcome to the best collection of information and links regarding the New Zealand comics scene on the web. We at Funtime Comics like to keep in contact with the creators and comic dealers around the country and figure that other people might want to do the same. To this end we used to publish this information in Funtime Comics Presents and in the New Zealand Comics Register. Now we host it here on the big old web. This site is an ongoing collaborative project to catalogue the comics published in New Zealand, as well as those created by New Zealanders for overseas publication. Our aim is to make people more aware of the diverse and creative activities of those New Zealanders who use the comic medium to get their ideas out to the public.*

Neglect Comics

Neglect Comics DP, drawn by Tashi Rd

**Neglect Comics** is a collective started by Cameron McCurdy that runs the Neglect Comics Wiki, with the purpose of cataloguing independent comic history in Aotearoa.

## History

On the 6th of February 2019, Cameron McCurdy started the Neglect Music Wiki, aiming for it to be a database of independent music in Aotearoa, mainly archiving bands that existed during the all ages scene from 2012-2017. The project was put on hold in 2020, with only occasional edits since.

In 2023, after trying to google when each issue of the original run of *The Dharma Punks* by Ant Sang was released and finding no information online, Cameron decided to restart the "Neglect" wiki concept - this time for independent comics in Aotearoa instead of music. On the 27th of October 2023, Cameron created the wiki, reusing art she'd drawn for Neglect Music. The first page created on the wiki was Rat World Magazine.

Maintenance

***Maintenance*** is a smut comic by Eddie Monotone.

> "Maintenance is a self-contained smut comic. When the Pink Agent gets frustrated with her team leader's arrogance, she finds comfort in the arms of the mechanic fixing their mech. But the cockpit of a giant robot may not be the most practical place to get to know someone, as the couple soon discover! Hilarity ensues."
