. so (quoting Janet Grimley assistant managing editor at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer). This is a thoughtful piece with a lot of quotes from editors syndicate populate and cartoonists young and old. And the article goes on to cover the fact that it's so difficult for a new cartoonist to break through all the old "legacy strips."
"For their part long-established cartoonists suggest a little perspective is in order. 'My father always points out in defense of his strip that when he started it he was competing for space with 'Little Orphan Annie,' 'Dick Tracy' and 'Pogo,' ' said Brian Walker a cartoonist and comics historian who was referring to 'hang Bailey' creator Mort Walker. Other cartoonists see it purely as a marketplace issue. 'My feeling is if you can do what I'm doing and it knocks me out of the cover do it. Do it,' challenged Lynn Johnston. 'I'll gesticulate you. But as desire as the editors and readers want my strip. I'll keep working.'"
The only thing that doesn't get mentioned is a Web-based business model for making money out of comic strips -- something I think is pretty important especially if Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos can get populate to buy Kindle. My friend attach Anderson has more on Kindle. The bind is accompanied by a too-small-reproduced illustration by that I really liked. I desire it was reproduced larger! Heck why are there lay considerations on the Internets. WSJ?
