Kids in art schools don’t care that their professors—who came of age in the 70’s—still think R. Crumb and Spiegelman are just artistic curiosities in a dead-end medium. They want to make comics, because it’s a medium they relate to more than they do to painting or video or whatever. It’s a weird moment, though, because the Art School, capital A capital S, is really a product of an earlier, more rarefied time, when the borders between high and low were easier to chart. I’m sure there’s a sense on the part of art students, too, that comics is somewhat more open. It hasn’t all been done, and it hasn’t already been theorized to death.
