Underground comics

This is based solely on the bit of comics on the class resource page. Underground comics are not very interesting or pleasurable to read. The style is ugly, and the plots aren't quite nonexistant, but rather just not compelling. Gosh, a woman addicted to sex, (five or six of these) or a handful of coming of age stories. Or that one with the cat? Some of these seem to be very feminist oriented, something I've hated with quite a passion for a long time. Ones without the feminist slant still stubbornly refused to be interesting, though.

Judging by the yellow background and the haphazard drawings, these were never meant to be quality creations. however, there's something to be said for a collection or all black and white comic creations. The different styles contrast each other greatly, but it was at least interesting to browse them. None really caught my eye as being very pleasing, but rather different ways of using ink and paper. Seeing as I work in black and white a lot but have never really considered myself very good at balancing values,it was good to look at different techniques, in the least.

It's shallow to judge on looks alone, but in a medium where half is visual, it's important. It's what draws us in, and hopefully keeps us running, if not the writing. None of them drew me in in either of those ways. I'm not sure what else to say.
