In the same way that SESAME STREET trains kids to watch TV, MAD MAGAZINE trained me to read comics: get a few quick jokes then move on. Other than Mandy Ord's excellent ROOFTOPS I've never read a graphic novel in my life. Really. If I lived in Japan and had to read manga novels I'd kill myself (possibly in a Japanesy way like dressing up as a cutsy tear drop character then knifing kids coming out of a baseball game before running flat chat into an oncoming fugu).
The step up from comic zinester to graphic novelist is so treacherous that many fear for their livelihoods. And, let’s face it, who’s going to waste potential INSPECTOR REX-watching time by frigging about trying get trillions of drawings shaded just right, the details of which only the politest members of your extended family will fake an interest in? Not me, that’s for sure.
