Don't listen to the plebians. Experimentation and grace are two qualities the world of comics needs more than ever. I'm pretty disgusted by the low-brow close-mindedness on display in these comments.

This was interesting, but ultimately useless to me. :> It's even sadder because I haven't gotten my comics this week and am currently going into a mild state of withdrawal. Anyone want to reccomend some other review columns, while we're here? I need something to read so I can at least pretend I've gotten my comics... :> No offense... but I love your What I Bought column to hear your thoughts on the comics.

I haven't the time right now to fully read all of these, but I will when I am home tonight. The reactions from people bewildered or disgusted by this are funny and a little sad. I'm actually not even a big fan of poetry, but I still find this fascinating and ambitious. Great job, Greg.

After that, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" was easy, as was "The Second Coming." The others I had to look for, although I've always loved the Eliot poem. I think it worked out pretty well, which surprised me. There are poems for every occasion in the world!

If there were no reaction, the impact or technique was not different enough to elicit a response, be it positive ot negative. Keep pushing the envelope.
