By: E&P Staff Comix 411 has an interview today with cartoonist Norm Feuti, who currently does two strips simultaneously. One strip, "Retail," is syndicated by King Features and appears in about 70 newspapers worldwide, while the other is his Web comic, "Gill," which bowed late last year.
Among other topics, Feuti discusses the long road of creative ventures that have led him to the current very busy point in his career, and ponders the future of newspaper syndication.
?Honestly I don?t think there is much of a future in traditional newspaper syndication,? he relates. ?The syndicates will always make money selling comics to newspapers, even as they continue to decline, change and adapt. Ultimately however, I think it will get to the point where the vast majority of the daily comic strip audience will be reading their favorite strips online via computers or mobile devices. As this happens, the syndicates will have to adapt as well and eventually invent and/or transition to an online business model that works.?
