Hence ostensibly non-mainstream, sophomoric or amateurish sounding bands like Beat Happening could exist and flourish alongside more conventional sounding REMs or Replacements. To my knowledge no such thing existed when i left India a mere 4 yrs ago. It's a little sad that no one knew who Robert Crumb was, but then in India these things are a function of people's economic realities as well. A really tiny minority has home internet. And not everyone is conversant with the shibboleths of Comic Con culture either. <br /><br />Also I wonder if you are using "comics" and "graphic novels" interchangeably here? Maybe a distinction would be useful? Or an explication of your rubric for categorization or lack thereof. <br /><br />I kind of think Sarnath Banerjee is a twit. He is ok I guess, but maybe what bothers me is the soft bigotry of low expectations, because the large majority of comics on the scene is so bad. I don't know. Also the conceit, that "original art" uninfluenced by western artists should be desirable or aspired to, is rather silly and somewhat patronizing.saperahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553004590976656655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-27783602746924890502012-04-12T15:07:19.740+05:302012-04-12T15:07:19.740+05:30Couldn't agree with you more.
There are also...Couldn't agree with you more. <br /><br />There are also problems because, in India, it's usually the parents who make the choices for their children. And, if they have to spend Rs 250 on a 'comic', they'd rather go in for something like a biography, or maybe history/mythology than anything else. Nobody wants to spend that much on a book that the child will finish reading in, say, fifteen-twenty minutes.Divyahttp://www.withinthepurview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
