Is illiteracy that widespread? Has the intrusion of the perverts into mainstream society affected also "comic books?" I keep reading rumors that that is the case.
You may be on to something.

I popped this one of Stan at the last Dragoncon during the mass costume contest at long range. That was fun watching the people dress up.

That would be a sufficient explanation for most people over about 15 years of age.
The only comic books we ever had were “Classics llustrated”.

I stopped reading comic books when I was about 11 years old. At the time, I probably would have thought a conservative was a sweet topping made from fruit for a biscuit or a slice of toast.

I guess the comic I collected most was Conan the Barbarian. I liked a lot of Marvel, including Thor, Fantastic Four, Daredevil. It's been decades since I've bought any.
They’ve been putting snarky liberal crap for 30 years at least. I remember the final straw back in 1991 for me when characters in Batman commented on the 10,000 Americans killed in the Oil War, during the first Golf War.
This was while it was still going on and I just quit right then. Cancelled all my orders for future comics and sold off my collection during the next 3 years and haven’t really read one since.
Sorry, but that Edward James Olmos is a flaming lib whacko.
As a comics pro myself, I would argue that there is nothing inherently “infantile” about the medium of comics, it’s a medium just like film, prose books and music are media. Infantile subject matter? Cardboard characters? Definitely, in the case of DC and Marvel. But check out Will Eisner to see the best of what can be expressed this way. He could put more substance in an eight-page story than most “serious writers” could manage in entire novels.
I know but my wife was a huge BSG fan. Me not so much. Hanging with Martin Landau for a few minutes (regardless of politics - I don’t know) was quite fun.
Libs slip the propaganda in everywhere. I was watching some doc about Area 51 on NatGeo tonight, and naturally the narrator talked about “cold war paranoia” as if the Russians posed no threat whatsoever. You’ll find lib propaganda in virtually every phase of American culture. I haven’t read comics for almost fifty years, so personally, it’s no big loss. But kids reading them now are probably getting a good dose of leftist slop slipped in whenever possible.
I suggest you stop buying the rope they are using to hang you.
Big dittoes on Eisner. What a talent; what a storyteller.
Groo. Did I err?
EXPLOSIVE NEW AUDIO Reveals White House Using NEA to Push Partisan Agenda (latest -Breitbart)
Should the National Endowment for the Arts encourage artists to create art on issues being vehemently debated nationally?The Obama administration purposefully reached out to the "arts" community to intentionally insert those messages into the works that people will see.That is the question that I set out to discuss a little over three weeks ago when I wrote an article on Big Hollywood entitled The National Endowment for the Art of Persuasion?”
The question still requires debate but the facts do not.
The NEA and the White House did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address politically controversial issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable.
It was done to support Obama and his agenda.
-PJ
I have no doubt Obama would do that with the NEA. However, I have my doubts that the NEA is overseeing or funding comic books from giant corporations like Disney and Warner Brothers. More likely it’s just a case of lib writers pushing their agenda on their own
"Comic books...never read 'em..."
