Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics was a landmark book in the comics world for establishing the potential of visual arts to convey beauty, drama, and transcendent meaning.
But comic book readers didn’t want beauty – they wanted buff gladiators with laser guns the size of a filing cabinet, sex kittens with impossible figures drawn by unskilled artists, an army of hacks hoping to sell a million issues of pre-bagged, individually- numbered holofoil special editions to drooling fanboys before anyone noticed they were bankrupting their own medium. Join us as we turn a jaundiced eye toward all that is wrong with the “invisible art”.
You won’t understand comics until you misunderstand them!
Chase and Saraa meet with Forrest Geid, a self-proclaimed expert in wildlife photography, with several pictures of… something. But their meeting is interrupted by a sound from the woods!
Our leader, Chase Nightblood, is a goth bro, or “broth”. In his search for bigfoot, he’s enlisting the help of licensed pet psychic Saraa Sylvia, noted conspiracy theorist and skeptic Pete Meyers, and Steph McCartney… a chick he hooked up with at Coachella.
