Comic strips as a medium were never really that big for me (I didn't like comics or graphic novels either which is why I am not a huge super hero movie fan). We got the funny times and I would read some of those, but stuff like Calvin and Hobbes was not my cup of tea (nothing against it, I just never got into it) [USER=7015803]@The Firebird[/USER] answered much of this but I would add that it is pretty obvious when you look at the kinds of things publishers were asking for submissions on. And the kinds of public conversations publishers were having. That doesn't mean there weren't exceptions. But it has also been much bigger than publishing. People can examine this and decide for themselves. I am not super concerned about convincing them this is all true. It is in my view blindingly obvious though. I was just trying to make the point that the critique leveled initially by Correia had some merit and reflected something that was occurring across the arts. Most of the arts have been affected by this. At the same time I don't think it is as important now as it was two or three years ago, since there is clearly a weakening of the PC clamp I had mentioned. My bigger concern is really the pendulum swinging the other way (like I said earlier I find some of the reactions to this stuff to be just as stifling, and in many cases worse). I don't like puritans from either camp.</blockquote>
