MIT on Comics and Micropayments

Snotty Pippen writes: Henry Jenkins, Chair of MIT's Comparative Media Department, has posted "Comics and Micropayments: An Interview with Todd Allen." Todd Allen being a professor/consultant with a book on the business of comics. The two discuss a number of online business models and web comics, ranging from the print-to-web migrants like Girl Genius and Finder to the print-to-web download of Flying Friar; the long-tail as a driving source for reprints & back-issues; and Pay Pal's effect on micropayments. Fairly comprehensive round-up of the industry.
