1. For some reason, colorful picture-stories powerfully imprint on impressionable young minds. I caught comics like chicken pox at a very young age, and the virus never left my neurological system.2. Although they are often vulgar and trashy, there's a powerful energy behind trashy impulses. The products of such have a vigorous, natural vitality.
3. There's something satisfying about the act of viewing marks on paper. There's a lot of great art made in that manner.
4. The repetition of static images in a linear viewing sequence forms a unique non-verbal grammer that has yet to be fully explicated, but it creates an effect that is totally cool.
5. Narrative can gain in both complextiy and velocity with the addition of a visual dimension.
6. Comics require a rigorous formal control that is similar to the discipline of poetry.
That's enough for now. And abstract enough, too. It's getting late.
