People scoff at that statement. When I gradutated, with honors, with a degree in Computer Animation, I had the obligatory meeting with the job-placement counselor. She asked what I wanted to do, and I said I was interested in getting into comics. She openly laughed at me. After that, I didn’t see much point in answering her calls.
But this guy, breaks it down and builds it up. This book is amazing!
Did you know hieroglyphics are comics? Heck, when I visited the Sistine Chapel, it looked like a big comic about God (as a white man with a beard). Did you know that comics stimulate your brain like no other art form does? Now you do…
He’s smart. He’ll make you think.
Then he’ll make you think some more:
I’m reading the above now, and I’m stoked on it. There is such a subtle inverse attitude towards/in comics. It’s sad. As a kid I felt ashamed going into the comic book store, hoping no one I knew would see me. It was my ‘porn.’
But through the years, I’ve seen that the format can get a point across in a way unlike any other art form.
It’s all different languages we are learning in life. When you get to the heart of the matter, people can hear you better. That’s my philosophy, and comics are a way for me to talk to you. Cheers.
