I had probably read it in an interview, possibly with Will Eisner. It ran along these lines. This 'fan' bought many, many titles a week. So many that it drew attention, especially how much reading time to get through such a haul. "Oh, I don't read the whole comic, I just look at the top two panels on each page. That's how I get through so many"...... Right! Does it make you wonder why we had put the effort in? Surely, this isn't the norm? But, I also remember Daniel Dennett's 'surely' warning. Look for 'surely' in an argument. It's a good point to find the weak point of an argument. By the way; for politicians, look for "the fact of the matter is . . ". OK; so, extrapolate, from that fan, around another thirty years of intellectual degradation and really hope he didn't have a bicycle! Enough said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
