I love Ulysses and struggle to muster enthusiasm for graphic novels but why do we need/want Joyce’s posthumous permission to be into thingshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1114222116482813957 …

Sigh. I understand collections. I'm not being obtuse, I just don't think we can know what Joyce would have preferred. I like comic strips but to be honest I'm not that keen on reading a whole graphic novel. I like the humour/brevity, not so much the narrative from page 1 to 350.

But Gasoline Alley, although humorous, was a narrative strip. It was a roman flueve. Many of the classic comic strips were. So the appeal was not just to brevity & humor but to long form narrative.

Also I understood 'graphic novel' to mean a long narrative rather than the episodic strip reprinted and strung into a single bound volume.
