From time to time it's a receptacle for my movie reviews, although I make for a disappointment as a critic, since that job has one requirement that I'm trying to quit (telling the readers whether I liked the movie or not) and one that I always seem to dodge (providing a plot synopsis).

What I really find disappointing is that even those who love one or more artforms tend to dismiss comics with a half-hearted shrug. <br /><Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-48082099549169686922010-02-13T02:25:53.600-05:002010-02-13T02:25:53.600-05:00"My regular writing, if you like, is on
