Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's strange, though, that Girl Genius is the only comic that I'm aware of that started out as hard copy, and then moved online. It isn't really that indie comics are moving online, they're getting displaced by them.
Another thing I'm noticing is that the indie comic aesthetic is having a huge influence on contemporary art. Maybe it's easier to sell prints online than comic books.
Oh, and indie animation is the new indie comic.

A Softer World was in zines before it was online. I'm 90% sure there's another fairly well-known comic that stopped hard copy production and moved online recently but I don't have time to dig around right now.

I think the web comic that's up on girl-wonder.org was print before it was online, and stopped doing print a few months back.
(Which reminds me, I need to write my stupid column, now that I have some free time.)

Well, the great series Finder made the jump from print to online, with the plan for the yearly collections to be released at SDCC. The Finder GNs were what was making money for the creator anyways, not the floppies.
David, there has been some interesting long tail analysis of comic sales, and the basic result was that basically everything after the top 40 or so titles are drastically underordered. Hell, most months Image doesn't even have a title in the top 50...

Finder! Yes, that was what I was thinking of, thank you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Schlock Mercenary has been online since 2004 (I think) and has sold two print books successfully this year.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Thr evil part of me is quite gleefeul about DeKnight and Goddard working on a comics series that retcons their most horrible writing mistake into something palatable. In my mind, I see Joss standing over their word processors with a wicked-looking ruler in hand (though to be fair, he did have final approval on the ptui! episode).
