Does the webcomic industry have a future or will it forever be something people do as a hobby?
At best, I see webcomics becoming like the independent film of the comic world. Lots of people will get into it, and a few lucky folks will actually make money off it, but for the most part it won’t be real competition for the big syndicates. Ironically though, a cartoonist for the syndicates doesn’t make much money either. Just look up what Bill Watterson has to say about it, and prepare to get depressed. Would you accept it if someone came along and told you that he would like to buy KidRadd, including all copyright stuff, so that you would be kinda rich, but never being able to add a comic strip again? Right now, probably not. A year from now, possibly, because that’s about the time I expect this strip to end. I might start a subcomic that still uses the characters for comedic purposes, but when the story ends, I will have done everything I’d intended with KR, including hopefully getting some kind of message across. If someone wanted to buy and somehow continue the story after that
