PVP's Scott Kurtz and self-syndication
From Scott Kurtz's website:
In the coming months, I'll be putting into effect, a program in which papers can receive PVP for free. That's right, free. They don't have to pay me a cent for it. I will provide for the papers, a comic strip with a larger established audience then any new syndicated feature, a years worth of strips in advance, and I won't charge them a cent for it.
The exposure and prestige of PvP appearing in daily papers would more than pay for itself in a months time. In exchange, I can offer the papers a comics feature that's tried and tested, funny and best of all, free. They have nothing to lose or risk financially. They can see, in advance, a years worth of strips so they don't risk me flaking out on them. Most of all, I can provide them with yet another bargaining chip against the very syndicates. This is the perfect climate to take this step.
This is an incredible moment in cartooning history. This will redefine your newspaper's comic page and how comic strip syndicates are managed. Read all of Scott's announcement, hidden away on a page about the SDCC panel he hosted.
