I thought it read more like a ‘late adopter’s’ look at something that clearly a large part of the population has started to embrace, but that he himself did not quite get yet.

The article was huge and fairly prominent in the paper, it talked some about the market, and of course how underutilized the medium has been here, etc. It also used comic strips to highlight how the medium can work, rather than as a gee whiz sort of thing… I thought at least.

The paper also devoted space in the book world to comics reviews. Should we have to have this sort of thing these days, no. Would it be better if there were articles about comics that weren’t written as though a bizarre new alien culture had been discovered? of course!.

Excellent blog!… and yes, B.L.O. and Hope Larson are the cutest ever. I really enjoyed Bear Creek Apartments. I look forward to your write up of Chiggers (I just read it in the last month or two.)
