So I am curious as to how you feel about comics in the papers. There are only a handful of good ones currently. Some of the ones I hated when I was growing up was Family Circus (not an actual comic according to Scott McCloud), Marmaduke, and Garfield. I miss Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Far Side Gallery...
And I despise superheros. Why should I read about someone so larger then life and yet so strangely dull. I like underground comics, some slice of life like American Splendor, a few select manga volumes, and some good ol' fashioned blood n' guts action.
Some of my favorite books are Scott McClouds books Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics. I love what some of the gritty and experimental webcomics have done not only in terms of art but in pushing the boundaries.
I am an artist/aniamtor who loves comics, and yet has spent more time contemplating what comics could be rather the what they are. Any thoughts? Or am I just cynical.
