Rstevens on quitting the dead tree bizness
rstevens is awesome. There's a really insightful interview up on Wired with the webcomic mastermind, discussing why he quit his syndicated newspaper gig and focused solely on the Internet.
For me, I like to talk to people, I like to mail things out, it's better for me to farm, like an intelligent, organic farmer, a smaller audience of acquaintances and fans than it is for me to go mass-market with a lot of people who really wish I wasn't there.
It's a great read for anyone who is still stuck in the "omg I must be published on paper to have any real cred as a cartoonist" mode.
Oh! Also we have an old interview with rstevens if you'd like to download it here.
