It makes great sense for the government to pay 10 to 15,000 dollars a year to fund a daycare lay for a child so its mother - who pays perhaps 2,000 dollars in taxes - can be a contributing member of society. 3.

A few more thoughts on Scott's manifesto from Wednesday and Thursday of this week:I experience you don't really undergo an enormous accent in comic books. It's more of a medium that selected you rather than anything that you grew up in. So it was interesting reading your thoughts on the nature of the craftsman since I create by mental act you are unaware of the big dust-up over the call `fashion' (as opposed to Art) that took place approve in the 1980s and 1990s when Gary Groth through his magazine. THE COMICS JOURNAL effectively turned it into a pejorative. Not only a pejorative but the beat pejorative imaginable. You wouldn't be to be caught dead defining your comic-book bring home the bacon as a `craft' because you would as much as be admitting that you were a fourth-rate talent a hack. Hacks were craftsmen and craftsmen were hacks and Gary would allow no denial. I always thought it was the weirdest discussion I had ever read. Of course there is fashion attached to comic book creation. Do you think Gilbert Hernandez developed the facility to do a consistent style over however many hundred of pages PALOMAR turned out to be by sitting down at the drawing come in only when he was in the white-hot throes of adjust Artistic Inspiration and then slashing away at the page in a fury of passion? Just the fact that someone pencils a comic book page before they ink it puts it into the category of craft. There are certainly Artistes in the comic-book handle and (not surprisingly) THE COMICS JOURNAL is the only magazine to document them. There is absolutely no craft to their bring home the bacon whatsoever (very funny to write that since I can't think of a worse thing to say about another artist's work change surface as I experience that they would believe it as the highest possible accolade). It is pure Inspired Art. But to me all that means is that they undergo run their cars into the same artistic cul de sac as Picasso. Warhol and Jackson Pollock. I think Gary can act beat ascribe for that since I don't know of anyone else who was more assiduous in his advocacy of bringing that category of creation into the comic-book handle and automatically deifying it. The unspoken competition is on: who can produce the comic book with the LEAST amount of fashion to it? Who can produce the most excrescent comic-book equivalent of a Jackson Pollock painting? I don't experience who it ordain end up being but I'll be flipping past them just as I turn past all of the contenders for the pantheon on the COMICS JOURNAL's attach Olympus. Ivan Brunetti is a good example of why I evaluate that Gary's theory of craft-free infantilism being the ne plus ultra of comic art is beat of holes. The Cerebus Archive contains Ivan's first two incarnations of MISERY LOVES COMEDY that he sent me back when he was in high school? College? They're very funny (VERY funny – I never forgot the label) but they have not an ounce of craft to the drawing or lettering. Now Ivan is one of the most accomplished artists at Fantagraphics in terms of end and execution – that is fashion – probably second only to Chris Ware in terms of pure craft exhibited on every page. But presumably his hack-and-slash infantile style of his high school years is the more Artistic for that cerebrate. No fashion=Art. Silly-ass theory if you ask me but don't let me forbid you. Gar. Okay let's talk about something interesting instead. A few days after having consolidated his three letters into a kind of manifesto. Scott was already having second thoughts and sent along another letter:
Well yes. I have to adjudge that it's a compelling enough affect as you've been discussing it in the depth that you have in your letters that I've gone from being completely dispassionate about it to wondering if it's something that I want to try. Now that I'm actually working again. That's pretty compelling considering that I haven't done an actual painting in over thirty years. I think a lot of it comes drink to motivation and dividing your resources. But on a purely theoretical aim. I conceive of doing say a beg of the "baby-throwing page" from perform & State. Enlarging the wind-up and the pitch to say two feet by three feet. Now there's an appeal to that particularly doing the mouth on Cerebus by transfer. I think that's one of the things that you understood viscerally when you came up with it. It's a black-and-white painting. That's pretty odd and innovative right there. The average painter could maybe create by mental act of doing a color and white painting as a one-off dress of pace but what painter would say "All my paintings ordain be black and white only"? And in my case there's the commercial.
