Fails WP:GNG. I'm unable to find significant coverage in reliable, third-party published sources. Their About page mentions a lot of firsts, but there do not appear to be any reliable sources covering those firsts...or supporting any of their claims, really. They mention being interviewed by the New York Times, but it's a couple of pullquotes in three sentences about another publisher entirely. A search for "digitalstrips.com" and "Digital Strips" finds the usual primary sites, podcast hosts, social media, forums, open wikis, links from sites they've talked about, and random trivial mentions like at Wired. In short, the podcast exists, but there's virtually no coverage to write anything about it. Woodroar (talk) 18:29, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete The non-primary sources on this article are:
 * A fan comic (imagining "Digital Strippers", a site about webcomics crossed with BDSM).
 * A New York Times article, covering webcomics in general, containing the following relevant section: "“With the Net, you can get to a smaller group of people at a larger scale,” said Heiko Ramirez, who produces a popular podcast about Webcomics on the blog Digital Strips (www.digitalstrips.com), where he is editor in chief. He noted that a comic that might attract only a handful of readers locally could, at no additional cost, find a readership of 10,000 nationally. Nonetheless, “print will never go away,” he added. “People like to own what they love.”"
 * An interview of "Daku the Rogue" (one of the creators of Digital Strips) by a site called Broken Frontier. The source linked in the article is actually an archive of a contents page; the actual interview linked appears to be missing as archive.org apparently has not archived the mp3 file that contains the interview.
 * So we have an unreliable and trivial mention, a trivial mention, and an unreliable source whose contents cannot be found. Unless more sources can be found, this article should be deleted for the same reasons as it was the first time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HenryCrun15 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
