Stripped is a documentary film about the comic strip and its transition from the failing newspaper industry to the web.[3] Work on Stripped began in 2010;[2] the film's original concept was to make a documentary about cartoonists in their studios.[4]
Stripped also features interviews with over 70 comic creators,[4] who discuss their trade and its prospects in the 21st century.[5] Interviewee Bill Watterson created the poster for Stripped, his first published art since ending Calvin and Hobbes in 1995.[5] The film was crowdfunded through Kickstarter,[6] and will be released on the iTunes Store on April 1; the DVD will be available April 2.[1]
