“In America, there's a very long tradition of a comic strip that comes in newspapers, which is not true all over the world. To sell papers, they put color comics in. It's worked, up until now. Now these papers can't afford it. They always had minuscule ad budgets, and now the things which people probably read these papers for are gone.” PeopleWorldLongAmericaGoneColorPaperTraditionSellsNewspapersComicBudgetsAdsPapersComic Strips Author:Ben Katchor
