Go, Read: Sam Henderson On Performing Comics

The cartoonist Sam Henderson has a thoughtful post up at TCJ about the phenomenon of performing one's comics, particularly humor comics. I don't think there's a big secret here more than 1) there still exist massive shortcomings when it comes to delivering certain works to their potential audience, and 2) it's fun to take in art communally, particularly humor. If you've ever watched something like Blazing Saddles in a crowded theater after years of watching it on the television screen, you know that second point to be true.

Anyway, I'm all for funny people being funny and for cartoonists to get the feedback and recognition their work deserves, so I'm not going to complain about anything that allows them to do so.
