Personally, I’ve always thought that its kind of stupid to say that a certain medium cannot be considered true art. Even if you accept the idea that most of it isn’t very good, its still like saying that, for example, the Ruble is not money.
Thank you, I’ve been saying that for years. Medium is the means. Art is one of the ends you can set out to achieve with them. Any medium, in the right hands and with the right intent, can be used to make Art.

The Fourth Wall wavers! ^_^
I love breaking the fourth wall =). I actually *made* a comic strip where I do just that. I have never published it though
Iv’e read through the entire archives, and although I cant possibly remember every single strip, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t come up again.

Comic strips are surprisingly young as an art form, little more than a century old.
They could have been invented much earlier.
