Stephen Pastis to webcomics: show me the money? « The Webcomic Overlook
“Sometimes I think the obituary for syndicated comic strip guys has been written prematurely — it’s almost impossible to break in, but for those who have, the readership is still there. Sometimes I want to remind people that I’m doing OK!” - Pastis’ attitude here is hilarious. ‘The door might be closed to new folk, but I’m doing fine, so what’s to worry about?’ It’s bizarre. He also doesn’t seem to accept that people can make money from webcomics, couching it in language like ‘Penny Arcade… claim to make a living’. Penny Arcade make a flipping killing. Just really, really weird.
