Comics are literature. I don't think that can be argued any more. Now I'm not saying our comic is literature, far from it. This web comic is pretty much cobbled together by a pack of rabid howler monkeys with ADD and a bottle of cheap tequila. No I am referring to the epic stories and minor tragedies we as readers have available to us. It is so easy to dismiss these things as childish diversions but the comics of today (from both the big 2 and the indies) touch on stories that are as every bit mature as anything in comparative literature today and they have the added advantage of being more accessible then some of the more dense texts. So go out today and discover for yourself a new comic. Or don't, we're not the boss of you.
