John – if it’s not too rude to ask, how does it work out for you with the GoComics reruns? (Obviously not asking about actual hamper-buying finances, and this may be a more of question for one of your Pateron Q&A roundups). I’ve recently been rereading a couple of the old cases on there and I wondered about this – is it akin in a digital way to newspaper syndication? Do they give you a chunk in order to run the whole series, or does it depend on readership? What, for you, would be the pros and cons on each side of having the whole series run on GoComics as opposed to hosting the archive on your own site – and is it even a possibility to do both, or do they demand exclusivity?
I guess for many years I’ve just thought of webcomics as a big amorphous archive hosted on a creator’s site that were just – THERE – but various factors including your recent hacking woes, the increasing creep of link rot, having more frequently to check out past strips on GoComics as opposed to your own site(s) have made this question more prominent. Thanks!
