for all you comics freak on GB !

[Stavios]

I need to do an oral presentation for my class about the history of the comics and their evolution in from the start.

I have been searching on the web but it's more about comics in general, not the "american comics"

some of you would have a good website for that ?

What kind of education are getting!? Fast track to NASA?   

[G_Thang]

it doesnt really matter...nothing matters.

[mass243]

I knew in America you get degrees for nothing or from cereal packages but presentation about comics? Huh...

[Stavios]

it's just for a french class..

it's a useless class where we have to do oral presentations on pretty much anything.. so they can evaluate how we speak 

I know it sucks

[outby43]

I would start with a few Andrew Dice Clay rhymes.

Oh, that's fine. Study French hard - it's great language and can open doors to Legion Etrangere

Hate to break it to you but Stavios is Canadian.

Also, McSweeney's issue #13, the comic issue, covered this. And see John Updike's 'Cartoon Magic.'

chimps, just out of curiosity since you seem to be a very knowledgeable man/canadian.. what did you study?

[mass243]

That's probably even worse  

Naah... it came clear it was only presentation for French class... in America people probably make their engineering thesis about comics

he seems knowledgeable because he belittled stavios school project without knowing anything about it??

the best universities on the planet, the best professors on the planet, the best scientists on the planet all reside in America.

Funny that America still has the best engineering schools in the world. I wonder what that says about the rest of them if places like MIT and Cal Tech are that bad.

Yes exactly  

Or maybe because since I started hanging around this place in 2006 dr. chimps has given very educated/wise impression... just maybe.

but you only mentioned after he (attempted) to "project his intelligence" via belittling anothers school work. yes, chimps is not stupid, he is "well read", but the guy is far from wise.. constantly trying to make others 'realize' that he is 'smart'...   smart people dont do that, at least not on purpouse

Ease up, Socrates. I was just joshing.

Don't take it too seriously guys, just foolin' around.

Most of great inventions come or at least came from America. Plus schools everybody all around the world want to join are in America; MIT, Harvard and so on.

I have nothing against USA. Besides communistic president but that's just temporary phase.

I get a 'CFN MFT' vibe from him

chimps- i know   i was addressing LM



mass243- capitalism, in its pure form, is deeply flawed; like communism. the only workable system is a mix of both. obama is mildly socialistic, not nearly as socialist as most european countries. but alas, this is one area where we are behind, not ahead.

I is smart!

Smart cause I know Quantum Mechanics good and not stupid enough to say I understand it.

That's a standard problem among us Quantum Mechanicals.

(Read "Dancing Wu Li Masters". It's a PDF file someplace on the internet. It will make you smart enough to simply realize how stupid we really are...... and how much more there is out there for us to discover and learn about.)

[dr.chimps]

Oh, and there is a 'The Best of American Comics' annual. I have 2008, 2009, but I think it goes back to 2005, so that might give you a more recent perspective. Each has a 'guest' editor -ie. 2008 is Lynda Barry; 2009 is Charles Burns. Might be worth a look.
