Media Montage Podcast 102: Stripped (2014)



Newspaper Comic Strips. They used to have massive impact on popular culture, their characters were world famous, as were their creators. The decline of newspapers has led aspiring strip creators to publish on the web. 

In the 2014 documentary Stripped  Dave Kellett and Frederick Schroeder tell us a brief history of the comic strip, we see interviews with creators, and they delve into a generation gap between the syndicated creators, and those going it alone on the World Wide Web.

Interviews with Jim Davis, Cathy Guisewise, Mort Walker, Scott Kurtz, Kate Beaton and many more tell us the story of a dramatic shift in a beloved industry. 

Larry and Bruce discuss this documentary and some of the issues it raises in episode 102 of the Media Montage Podcast!
