I'm pretty sure that's not art, that's a security blanket. I mean those first two things are patently wrong but go off Seriouspost there used to be really good comics writing at the sites like comics alliance that didn't really care as much about breaking news and having access to publishers, but the internet trending towards clickbait strangled it. Now it's basically just goofballs finding each other on Twitter and poo poo and talking about things BENGHAZI 2 has issued a correction as of 18:45 on Sep 8, 2018 |

BENGHAZI 2 posted:He recently trumpeted working with Dave Sim as a reason to buy his weird pepe comic I can't imagine how miserable an experience it would be to read the second half of Cerebus, especially if you really liked the first half. I heard about the experience secondhand from a huge online essay I read a decade ago, which I can't find anymore.

Never mind that the idea of you have to write a deconstruction of comics from thirty years ago plus a philosophical debate to be one of the Good Ones is just the dumbest goddamn thing, it is in fact possible to just write a good story about punches

That's not me taking a swipe at you it's literally a term that emerged in the 80s when comics decided they ARENT JUST FOR KIDS ANYMORE and like most bad things in the industry can be traced back to Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen

Sort of like how "speculative fiction" is snooty person speak for good sci-fi that is more about exploration of themes and situations than lazer gun battles in space then I realized it's just comics, but more MEAT
