Then do it again! Then do it some more!" <BR/>It helps to say even more hokey jargon about a comic if the writer is really darn good, and if it's about some concepts you really like, like the power of the individual in society or the sentience of fruit or somesuch.<BR/><BR/>You could also try Scott McCloud's <I>Understanding Comics</I>. I read it maybe when I was 14, and I didn't understand a single thing, but it might help, because college is not a much more enlightening place than high school. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, you get free stuff in college, but high school was when I really got to learn who I am, and who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do. That's the most important knowledge of all, and that'll be the drive for what you do in life.<BR/><BR/>Hope I didn't sound like a self-righteous douchebag. Now maybe I can get out of this well if I just wait for it to rain. . .Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840499190180485773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555214740044928889.post-20781849892285816152008-10-09T18:48:00.000-05:002008-10-09T18:48:00.000-05:00Hey, I used to sneak comic books into my high scho...Hey, I used to sneak comic books into my high school textbooks and read them in class.
