Regarding your question, its not so much a question of if they sell enough merchandise, but what fraction of them sell enough. There are clearly documented cases where the merchandise is the primary revenue source, but thats not telling us any overall trends. This comes down having the data available for these, and it just isn't available Hey Brian,
Thanks!

I was in another class where we discussed the existential threat facing newspapers, mostly focusing on the implications for the quality of news coverage. I had never thought about the way in which things like comics, which, as you point out, traditionally could only be lucrative if syndicated in newspapers nationwide, are threatened by the decline of the traditional media. One question I had about your section on selling merchandise is whether you think these web comics attract a large enough audience to sell enough merchandise to remain viable? Cool project, Carter.
