The whole idea behind art is to share concepts and ideas through a medium that is surprising and new. So why would anyone think comic books couldn't be artistic? They are contradicting the very essence of artistry.
Thanks for the gracious reply. Obviously JH knows nowt about comics. The specialist subject was arguably one of the most brilliant comics published so far! Cheers.
Humphrys was a bit mean there wasn't he? I don't think liking comics is any odder or more geeky than being an expert on 17th century french wigs or the usual topics people pick! Thanks for uploading.
There's still a perception amongst certain people that anything comic related cannot be classed as intellectual in the same way that a novel can be. Those that have read Sandman, Watchmen, and so on, know differently, but it's merely one group's hangup.

"But they're still comics" Berk, Ah I'm being mean, It would be interesting to give him a copy of say Palestine, Maus, Acme Novelty Library,
Watchmen, From Hell,
Of course he'd probably look at them and say something like "These give me a headache" or "How exactly am I supposed to read this?
I grew up with The Beano,
This is completely beyond me."

I watched this episode, and Geoff Thomas was so dull! I think his specialist subject was about some british nazi!

Idiot, research the subject before commenting on a brilliant British, Jewish author.
