Exploitation Now was a webcomic drawn by Michael Poe (generally referred to simply as "Poe") on Keenspot from July 2000 to August 2002. Exploitation Now was notorious for its use of fanservice, sex, violence, and anime references, including anime-style artwork. A single-volume ink-and-paper version was produced by Keenspot, appropriately titled Exploitation Now: Selling Out for Fun and Profit.
In the beginning, Exploitation Now concerned a female porn star and a male moogle-like person, and their comedic (and sexy) mishaps, such as accidentally summoning tentacle monsters. Eventually, however, the focus shifted to a female mad scientist with a dramatic past. One strip alluded to this shift by showing Bimbo and Ralph in the background, sitting on a couch and musing, "Remember when we used to be in this comic?" Like many webcomics, the comic slowly evolved from being a gag-a-day strip into long dramatic storylines, which finished off with a tragic ending.
