Comic Books And The Internet, Continued

A number of readers have written in about the Salon story talking with Gary Groth's recation to Scott McCloud's pieces on the intersection of the comic and the Internet. Groth's feelings are much different then McCloud. I love the comic book format (am currently reading Cerebus, The Dreaming and Bone amongst others) and think is an interesting issue - 'specially considered within the greater question of "art" and digital media.

Well, as long as we're trolling for hits I might as well see if I can slashdot my server as well. PopeAlien.Comics is a half-assed weakly comic completely unrelated to the Pope, Aliens, or indeed even this discussion topic. I like to get drunk on the weekend and give half-assed advice to strangers.

Please.. visit in an orderly fashion, one at a time. I don't think the server can handle anything more. There. I've promoted the site, done my geek duty. Can I go home now?

RTFM solved if ...

Okay, here's a wild hare of an idea that'll probably klobber my karma ...

Perhaps we could get users to read the manual if they were in comic book format ? And it doesn't have to be anything cheezy ... I remember spending hours sitting on the edge of the couch pouring over Classic's Illustrated renderings of this novel or that.

Sure, it'll have it's limitations, just the same way trying to use a Classic's for a book report on Moby Dick is ... but at least the user will have a clue.
