What he said

I’m linking to Tom Spurgeon’s post in praise of the current state of comics because I think it’s at least as important to read as the recent complaints about same by Craig Yoe and Frank Santoro and Heidi MacDonald. Hell, I was going to write something along the lines of Tom’s post (particularly the “Craft and Story Are Valued as Never Before” section) myself, but my version would have come out something like “if you are interested in and knowledgeable about comics enough to write about them but still think they’re in dire artistic straits right now, WHAT THE HELL????” so I didn’t.
