Ultimately my syndication experience was disappointing. The
income generated from it was not significant, and while I enjoyed creating my
comic strip, the effort and sheer amount of time that it took to produce a
quality comic strip was just not worth it. I had hoped that the experience would lead
to bigger things–daily syndication in many major newspapers for example–but
that never materialized. The world was moving away from printed newspapers and toward
online content that they could get for free, and the entire syndication business seemed to be
under siege; not a very encouraging environment for cartoonists. At
least not for me. So, in 2013 I put my strip on hiatus and took a break. Time to
re-group and explore other opportunities.
