Comic strip shows the power of print and web working together to channel readers.
A good example of the power of print and web working together came recently in the form of the Doonesbury comic strip.
A recent Associated Press story from New York, titled "Doonesbury causes web traffic jam", reports several examples of web publishers experiencing huge traffic spikes after the comic strip ran references to them, in some cases such big spikes that they crashed the sites referred to.
The Doonesbury strip runs in over 1450 newspapers, as well as on Slate.
The story should still be available on the news.com.au site here:
