Go, Read: Rina Piccolo On The Traditional Newspaper Strip Business

The cartoonist Rina Piccolo has listed multiple reasons why "Newspaper Comic Strips Are Not Dying." It's actually a better piece than that more provocative and slightly misleading title promises, in that it's really just a point-by-point case as to where newspaper comic strips are right now from Piccolo's perspective: still hugely profitable for some, a living or part of a living for many others, a harder place than ever to break in, and only one component among many in approaching comics as a career. It's about a billion times better than the pathological shrieking that usually tends to pass for discussion on the various issues involved, and I recommend it even if you strongly believe in one or the other side of the viewpoint that tends to see this issue in dueling opposites.
