But right now we’re in a transition period moving things from print to digital. I think newspaper comics can thrive in digital once E-Ink and E-Paper become commonplace (cheap). Imagine if all you had to do was pick up a thin piece of E-Paper and your daily newspaper automatically arrived for you to read it, and all you had to do was click a button and it turned to the next page. That’s exciting, and hopefully it will bring an end to size constraints for comics. Personally, I’d love to draw 7 inches high and 2 feet wide dailies like Milton Caniff and the rest of the cartoonists did. But I also think the web is exciting too, and once advertising payments start to rise, I think cartoonists will become less worried. The big problem is that syndicates aren’t the only game in town anymore for comic strip cartoonists and young cartoonists have to understand that it’s even more competitive now getting an audience than it was even five years ago. </p> <p>Source: <a href="http://comics.gearlive.com/comix411/article/q308-qa-dan-thompson-and-rip-haywire/" rel="nofollow">http://comics.gearlive.com/comix411/article/q308-qa-dan-thompson-and-rip-haywire/</a> </p>
