Margaret made a great observation in the comments of my Sherpa Month Three post:

A while back I think I realized the logic behind those super-tiny, cramped images on GoComics: they’re just about exactly as large on the screen as they are in a newspaper nowadays. Because this is an OLD-SCHOOL SYNDICATE’s web presence

If there’s one thing we can probably all agree on, it’s that the newspapers and syndicates haven’t exactly been progressive when it comes to building new media presence*. A pity really, that much built-in audience, is a terrible thing to waste. So rather than spend another post on complaints about Sherpa**, let’s talk opportunities in comparison to some of the more forward-thinking sites.
