I donâ€™t see much of a problem with recommending a student seek something out as log as you donâ€™t actively give it to him.

That’s the problem with this sort of thing, though. It doesn’t really matter what you think of it. All that matters is if the parents of the child in question should decide to make an issue out of it.

The Nate Fisher controversy resulted not from him recommending the Clowes comic but rather giving it to the student. I don’t see much of a problem with recommending a student seek something out as log as you don’t actively give it to him.

Then again, when I was in highschool, my Spanish teacher lent me the entire Matt Wagner/Pander Brothers Grendel run when he learned that I had an interest in the series, but my parents were very open-minded about my reading and viewing habits.

I almost recommended Ellis’s Crecy to one of my high school students today. The kid was talking about the 100 Years War and the French and the English and the longbow, and I thought, this kid would love Crecy, but then I thought, Crecy’s kind of rated R isn’t it and didn’t that teacher just get fired for recommending Eightball?

So I didn’t recommend it.

There’s this great little comic called “Eightball” that some of your students might enjoy…
