Some People Prefer Antiquated Systems When It Can Buy Them a Giant House

I'm not sure why the webcomics community puts up with exhortations about webcomics vs. print newspaper comics this shabbily constructed, let alone takes them seriously, except perhaps that it makes people feel good about their own certain-to-be-forthcoming roll in the money bin. No one is more thrilled than I am about the growing number of cartoonists being able to base a career in comics from producing work on-line. After all, I'm a writer that makes part of my living on-line through my own self-published effort. Similarly, very few people have written more about the ongoing decline of the print newspaper market than I have. But placing the two markets in opposition seems totally goofy in the head to me given how much they don't have in common, and fudging things by dangling ideas instead of examining them so it looks like we're about to enter a period where the financial fortunes of the bulk of print newspaper cartoonists and the bulk of webcomics cartoonists switch places is just pie-in-the-sky rhetoric of the worst kind. Can this just stop now please?
