• Berkeley Breathed on a key user experience difference between print and online
  Breathed thinks comics will be left behind when newspapers go “fully digital.” Breathed said his readership was 60 million to 70 million people in 1985, when Peanuts had a readership of 200 million to 300 million and Calvin and Hobbes, 200 million people. “That will never happen on the Web. Your readership drops to a couple thousand people – maybe, if you’re lucky, 10,000.” The Web is a dedicated viewership, he explained, meaning a reader has to type in the name of a strip to go to it that day. “You are no longer a found delight,” he said. “You are a dedicated delight. And that’s what changes the readership.”

Apparently Berkeley Breathed has never heard of an RSS reader.
