[edit] Issues with references; should this be a category?
There are numerous red-linked webcomics on this list. I haven't checked each of the blue links, but presumably there is a source cited in each about the print history of the comic. As this list currently stands, the red-links are not supported by cited sources. I am about to remove the red links. I also wonder whether this whole list should be replaced with a category. Any thoughts? -- Dragonfiend 06:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition: In Print
What is meant by the term in print? Does it mean that new comics are still being produced, or that the comics are being transposed from the web to a printed-paper format? --JB Adder | Talk 07:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
It means that they are still being produced. Getting published would probably be the proper term for being transposed from web-to-paper.

- I realize that this is an old discussion, but this list is linked by the main Webcomics article as a list of comics in physical print form. Is that not the case? A list of webcomics that were still actively producing strips is almost the same as the list of webcomics worth noting on Wikipedia in the first place; it would be easier to make a list of no-longer-updating comics. Also, "being published" is an inferior term for being in physical print, because legally, publication on the web is still publication, for purposes of copyright and such. In the US, a cartoonist can file a registered copyright for work he has "published" even if it has only appeared online. --Ig8887 (talk) 15:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- The list is of webcomics that have been printed in books, magazines, and/or newspapers. Looking at this now, I'm not sure why we have both this list and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Webcomics_in_print. --Dragonfiend (talk) 23:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
