Scott McCloud is cool because he's been wrong about literally everything he's ever opined on, from the future of the publishing industry to music piracy to comics, but because he goes out of his way to market himself to people who are completely clueless about the subjects he claims to be an expert on and nobody has the time or patience to even read much less challenge his bloviating walls of ~infinite canvas~ he's spent decades on the rolodex of talking heads publications can call up for a soundbites.

i powder a
granite monument
in a soundless flash

showering the grass
with molten drops of
its gold inlay

sending smoking
chips of stone
skipping into the fog

A woman, dating a man, that reminds her of her father????

That's something else!

I love how at least half of his grand ideas for webcomics to do that aren't possible for print comics turned out to be enormous pains to actually read when somebody tried them.

well, the meme coulda made sense if they were playing crazy eights, but i don't think there's much of an audience for people who were alive in the 1920s who didn't understand that crazy eights had no draw four mechanism.

Things like "You could make a comic which goes any any direction! Go infinitely! What do you mean scrolling in any direction but "straight down" is a pain in the rear end on the internet"

I haven't read the book in ages.

The Soviet Union self-eliminated in Cold War 1.

Russia owns our dicks in Cold War 2.

It's unreal how owned we are by a tiny wood sprite that loves showing his pointy man nips.
