| Part 1 of a series where every problem's solution is the same. |
Prose and verse are generally accepted as distinct writing formats with their own rules, styles, and grammars. Though their borders are somewhat vague, they have come to be seen as something of a dichotomy in the eyes of the general public. There are, however, at least 3 other popular approaches to writing as exhibited in picture-books, comicbooks, and plays. Though sometimes given short shrift, these styles are accepted as literature. They are included in libraries, book stores, and academic study. Most importantly, they are read. In the general case, there is clearly writing being done in the creation of any one of these. But what of the wordless comic or silent play? Should we consider scripts written, but fully realized plays, comics, and picture-books, to be performance, art, or some other kind of non-literature? These worries of theory are kinks to be worked out, surely, but they are not of immediate practical concern to the writer...
You're really good at drawing Clint Eastwood's eye!
ReplyDeleteI want to add that...a couple days ago I was driving around and I saw a local church that had on the bulletin board outside on its lawn, by the road, a message that read something like "The Bible has the answer for all of your problems"...
ReplyDeleteit surprisingly made me think of this comic...
Thank you, Diaz. If I could specialize in any kind of eye, it would be Mr. Eastwood's.
ReplyDeleteAs to the Bible and it's solutions, it, too, ends up in favour of killing at least one white man. I don't know if a guy in his mid-thirties counts as old, though. As far as gods go, it seems fairly young.
