Go, Read: Buzz Dixon On Decline Of Newspaper Strips

Buzz Dixon writes about his perception of comic strips' continuing decline here in a lengthy post. Dixon's very much a strip lover, and while some readers might not agree with some of his aesthetic appraisals, his dismay is affecting. I don't really know where that business goes from here, particularly in terms of its art. That world of comics is just not set up in a way for a transformative period, at least not one I can see, and there doesn't seem to be anything about the continuing move to on-line media that suggests that comics will be included in the process of consuming news and information as a hidden partner, the way that newspaper's included them as a contrasting element.
