By violent means student activists forced a change in our reading schedule. Since we just read Understanding Comics, we are bumping Chris Ware's graphic novel The Acme Novelty Library forward in the schedule. So our next meeting on January 15th we will discuss The Acme Novelty Library.
There have been many volumes of Acme Novelty Library published over the years, we'll be reading this one, ISBN 978-0375422959.
Come discuss The Acme Novelty Library Saturday January 15th at the Main Library in the 3rd Floor Program Room at 11am. Feel free to bring food and drink.

Some thoughts about Understanding Comics
- Was McCloud's choice to present his ideas in graphic form successful? Did the subject matter lend itself to this purpose? Could he have pulled off a book about microeconomics in graphic form?
- What do think of McCloud's theory about the six steps of creation? Is his process universally true in all cases?
- Do you read comics now differently compared to when you where a child? Has there been a change?
- What is the relationship between popular art and "high" art? How does art go from the "people" to the museum or the academy?
