    How about a painting of a cartoon of a painting – all torn apart by tiger claws?

    A Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strip. Sophisticated irony, philosophically challenging, enriching. … High art.

    While photographs can be either: “high” art as depicted in the composition, lighting, etc. of portraits and landscapes, or “low” art represented by mug shots and most snapshots, what is a photograph taken of a comic strip?

    Yup. Wanted to purchase a two-page original, inked but not colored, pencil lines still visible, with dialogue, sketch from a Green Archer comic book I had as a kid: $500 for two 8 × 11.5 sheets of paper. Budget did not allow for it. Still kicking myself.

    Memo to Calvin: Anything you do that doesn’t involve snowmen – “no” art. ;)

    “I would suggest that it’s not the medium, but the quality of perception and expression, that determines the significance of art. But what would a cartoonist know?” -Bill Watterson, talking about this strip

    Anime is animation. Animation moves. How is that “static”?

    Pretty sure you completely missed the point of JackButler’s post. The idea was to use a bunch of mumbo-jumbo words the way a lot of art critics and such do. They usually make about as much sense. Correct me if I’m wrong, JackButler.

    I’ve been reading some C&H stips lately. I’ve been realizing— Calvin gets NAKED (or some say nude) a LOT..!

    You’ve been watching the wrong anime, that’s all. Try The Garden of Words, or even My Nieghbour Totoro.

    Comments on a comic strip: Not even qualified as art, however artfully the comment was crafted.
