Documentary about the current state and future of comic strips. Features interviews and examples from a couple dozen syndicated comic artists, including most of the ones everybody's heard of -- Mort Walker, Cathy Guisewite, Bill Amend, Jim Davis, Greg Evans, Jerry Holkins, Matt Inman, Jeff Keane, Mell Lazarus, even the reclusive Bill Watterson of Calvin & Hobbes.
The consensus is that with newspapers dead or dying, digital is the future and with digital there is no money in the strip itself. The future is merchandising.
Not unlike the music industry.
