A very cute young woman just walked out of the library carrying Eisner's Comics and Sequential Art, and having flipped through McCloud's Understanding Comics.
That's what's missing in so many fangirls and boys: A need to understand the underpinnings of the art. There's entirely too much OMG I WILL DIE OF SQUEE CUZ THAT IS MADE OF SO MUCH AWESOME, and not enough "what makes that awesome?".
She said she'd just read the graphic novel Tricked, and the first webcomic she mentioned was Sinfest.
She was also tall, so to contemplate that after having let her disappear is just too much.
