Scott Mccloud wrote some book about trying to explain the comic book industry which practically there is none. McCloud is a comic strip artist and his recent book called "Reinventing Comics" looks at the transformation of the industry thanks to consolidation and technology. McCloud just whines and bitches that there are not enough outlets for these artists to reach the masses and incomes available that this dweeb insists are available to all these grown men acting like kids and wanting to get paid as an adult for drawing.
It is easy to figure that Mr McCloud wants the industry to be bigger than it is but this clown is living in a cloud if he thinks this medium hasn't peaked and there was really a sense that this industry and its super heroes and bad stories should not have been so ingrained in the cultural as it already has been. McCloud complains that the cost of distributing comics is escalating and that comic books are costing too much. This jackass fails to realize all shipping costs are getting expensive due to more energy use and having people drive and waste fuel to deliver comic books is not sustainable. Perhaps McCloud should read some ore economic and energy depreciating books instead of mostly books about fantasy men in capes. One of the reasons this country is declining is the daydreaming of useless skills that add nothing to humanity and American bozos such as McCloud cant seem to see this distraction and entertainment as a distraction as American students get hammered by their Asian and Indian peers in education. American teens and pre-teens need to be reading math and science and less Spiderman and Thor.
