Comics creator and mainstay of the Manchester Comix Collective Adam Cadwell is interviewed on British indy comics blog Bugpowder(thanks to Matthew Badham for the link):
“Bugpowder: You publish mini-comics and also publish your strips online. Why not one or the other? What are the benefits of doing both?
Adam: I like to have my comics in paper form, as nice little objects to keep and give to people and to sell and read on the loo, but I’d also like a wider audience to read them and it’s very hard to do that with just mini-comic distribution. The web-comic gets my work out to readers all over the world and it’s really nice to get comments and feedback a day after you’ve drawn something, it spurs you on to draw the next [comic]. The benefit of doing both is that the online readers have something to buy if they like the comic enough. I try to make the print versions as nice as possible for those who have already read the strips, and the minis reach an audience who may not be avid web-comic readers. They can then follow it online too or find out when the next issue is out. “
