How and Where To Read

As mentioned on October 8, Karin Kross did a very nice column for Bookslut about vestiges of anti-comics prejudice among reviewers who actually like the stuff. Today she points to this article in Toronto's eye weekly which she says is about anti-comics prejudice too but I read it as more of a plug for this cool site plus an added point about people who never actually learned how to read comics, something I used to encounter a lot in talking to women whilst working the Lulu booth. Most schools don't teach this sort of thing (yes, I know the PDF link is somewhat ironic, but whaddaya gonna do), and one simply cannot assume the knowledge is innate.
