Comics

I’m not sure what to make of this event. On one hand, as we were going around and learning all this information I was listening and became quite interested. On the other hand, I don’t know how much I actually understood since I had no prior knowledge of anything comics. I wish we did know some more things.

I thought the first thing that we saw was really cool. The comic that the students of Columbia (then Kings College) made about their teacher was very interesting to me. I thought it was cool that we have such an informal document from that long ago. Plus, we totally understand what their saying even today… meaning the jokes. It’s just like Josh said, “it’s MTV.”

I felt kind of bad because I think that the curator thought we were a class that learns about comics or something. But we’re not… I thought it would have been better for her to just tell us who are the people she is talking about instead of first trying so hard to get it out of us. I guess it’s just a disappointment for her because she loves them so much.

The only comics I’ve ever read were the Tin Tin comics and almost the whole novel of Persepolis. I really enjoyed reading those but this event made me want to pick up comics (I guess you can say again) and read them. They seem pretty interesting and fun.
