Bennett, Marek – Why Comics?

Why Comics?

Geez, what is a reviewer supposed to do with this?  This is a short, utterly adorable comic that shows a few reasons why comics are a force for good in this world: the fact that everybody can make them, that the possibilities are limitless, that they challenge us, that they’re cheap to publish, and finally just because they’re fun!  I’m far too jaded of a human being to be reached by this, but it’s also too utterly pure and good for me to make fun of in good conscience.  This is meant for all ages, and it’s meant to inspire kids to make comics. I don’t see any reason why it can’t do just that, as long as it reaches the right hands.  In the hands of the jaded, this could be a terrible force for evil in the world.  Give it to the kids and keep your cynicism to yourself!  No price, but I’m guessing it costs approximately one moonbeam or one sleeping puppy, or possibly $1.
