Understanding Comics (part dos) ch 4-9

So, I'm not going to lie in this situation but I'm really kind of at a loss for words. I looked around at other blogs and found that I agreed with Keyokah. (can i do that? talk about how i agree with what someone else has to say in my blog and not on theirs? Should i do both?) Anyways, She said about how the book was repetitive and I agree. I guess it all just relates back to what i said in the first blog. Its a comic book about knowing how to read comic books. It was put together really well and its been helpful but at the same time, its been boring. But again, my favorite part about everything was still the fact that he related comics to famous works of art and how he explained that describing a famous work of art and a comic is similar. I also like that he stood up for comics. He admitted that they were underappreciated but he made sure to relate comics to real works of art to prove that comics are also works of art. Oh! and when he made everything colorful towards the end of chapter eight, i was super happy. Im a big fan of color in general, (hence why you'll see me with bright red lipstick on or some outrageous eye makeup) so seeing color in a sea of black and white was a good finish in my book.

It's always fine to agree or disagree with someone and use that as a starting off place for your blog post. I like seeing such connections.
