[edit] Sabrina Online

Main article: Sabrina Online

Sabrina began as an effort to create a character very distinct from Schwartz' previous characters, many of whom bore close resemblance to Amy the Squirrel.[1] In 1996 Schwartz gave Sabrina her own comic strip, Sabrina Online. The comic gained a wider audience when Amiga Format started to serialise it in their readers' letters section Mailbag, and when Amiga Format closed in 2000 the final issue contained a special interview conducted with Sabrina.[2] Sabrina Online continued, and in 2001 the comic won the Web Cartoonist's Choice Award for Best Romantic Comic.[3]
