Tues Presentations

Richard did a wonderful job with his presentation. I am not much of a comic reader myself but he did a good job of expressing the passion that some people have towards comics. I believe that his presentation fits in nicely with the topic of parental responsibility. He told the story of a man who tried to ban comic books due to their content but the actual problem is with the parents’ lack of explanation. If the parents simply did not allow young children read the comics or fully explained the difference between comics and reality, then we would not be having this problem.
I was also surprised to see the range of topics that comics are able to cover. I had not previously realized that comics could cover such serious topics and social issues. I suppose that I had fallen into the trap of the belief that almost all comics dealt with superheroes. I feel that comic strips are a wonderful medium because they act as humor does, allowing someone to make a point without offending the reader. I was very impressed and surprised by what Richard had to say.
Also, great job to CA! I enjoyed your speech and completely agreed with what you had to say! Thanks for presenting it for us!
