If I was only looking to make money from my webcomic, I probably would have dumped it after strip number 25.

The cool thing (and difficult thing) about webcomics, is that there is NO ONE to blame for your comic’s demise but YOU. On the flip side your comics success is all you as well.

Another great thing about webcomics is that there is no restrictions on your character’s dialog. It’s not like YES I can finally start swearing in my comic, it’s more like, YES I can finally use REALISTIC sounding dialog. The editorial rules on dialog (and subject matter) for the comic pages in newspapers have not changed with the times and I think it is partly responsible for decline in readership.

Would I love to have a syndication deal? Damn straight I would. But, I would probably try to build a strong web presence for the comic, too.
