Comic Books and What I Think Of Them

Comic Books. Personally, I think that comic books are somewhat lazy. They are an excuse for an author to write less. The pictures do ad a nice touch but they take away from the actual writing. The only comics I read are the ones in the Sunday news paper as I tear it up to paper mache my elephant. I believe that you must have a certain kind of mind to enjoy comic books. Some people may be surprised, but I would rather read a chapter book than a comic book. Books let you illustrate the picture in your own mind instead of them already bring drawn in black and white. This does not mean that I am not open to the idea of reading a comic book, but it would not be my first choice.

Favorite Video

Personally, I thought that Xan's video was very creative. It was a really good idea to make the Rick Roll video. It was also very brave of him to put himself out like that. It must of took alot of work to rewrite the song.
