Moratorium
Can the comics powers that be please declare a moratorium on comics artists complaining about how it takes so long to make comics and then people read them in a few minutes. I was listening to the Inkstuds interview with Ray Fenwick, and the topic came up. Chris Ware and Kevin Huizenga have both made comics on the topic (I can remember those two off the top of my head).
Sure, comics take longer to make than they do to read. Guess what? Same case with novels, poetry, painting, movies, and pretty much every form of art. One read through a novel, one viewing of a film, a quick look at a painting, much artwork doesn’t get more than that, but the quality art, the stuff that becomes a classic, gets multiple reads, multiple viewings, close examination, time.
Art is process, process is time.
I’m just sick of hearing it.
