Clear Blue Water Ends Its Print Syndication Run; Will Resurface On-Line

Dave Astor at E&P notes that Karen Montague-Reyes' Clear Blue Water will end its print syndication relationship with Universal on September 28 and that the cartoonist will continue the feature as a webcomic.

While there are a few webcomics that have gone into print and then back into being a webcomic, I think this is the first to go from print into an on-line iteration since Michael Jantze moved The Norm on-line in 2005. Montague-Reyes' multi-ethnic strip has been syndicated since 2004. The decision to end the relationship was the syndicate's, which nearly always indicates low sales.
