Comment on France Gave Teenagers $350 for Culture. They’re Buying Comic BooksparentComments−mcguire5yThat's not bad either, unless they're under the weird delusion that the only valid culture in France is French culture.(I personally find manga to be excessively drawn-out, even more than American comics, seemingly in order to sell more books. But that's me.)−bsder5yThis is as old as the medium.Dickens was paid by the word. This is why "Tale of Two Cities" is a wonderful book with a gigantic pile of garbage in the middle.(To be fair: The middle of "Tale of Two Cities" has some of my favorite scenes, but, boy, howdy, could it use an editor to chop out about 2/3 of it)
