* not comics: some of what's reported on here, in an article on a minor piece of news engaged with the basic curiosity of a slug, is astonishing. The flip side to people thinking the Internet is the only place things exist is folks who feel like something has been thoroughly reported on if that slightly wider group of 80 or so people with whom they mainly interact on-line has discussed it.
* not comics: I agree with the broad strokes of this piece. I used to get irritated when people would giggle their way through someone else's seriously-intended art, particularly in public. Now I just feel sorry for someone who sees the world that way all the freaking time.
