      I think we can be pretty confident, given that he had such a high regard for the cousin form of the comic strip, he wouldn't have the knee-jerk rejection of the original tweet that I was answering.

      No we can't. He might have found 350-400 pages of narrative comics annoying to read. He might have enjoyed comic strips for their brevity.

      Um, no. One comic strip he specifically praised and collected was Gasoline Alley, which was a continuous narrative, a roman flueve, very similar to graphic novels. I'm currently co-editing a reprint of this strip, and each volume is 300 pages long.

      And do you know if he sat down with volumes of Gasoline Alley? Were they available as bound volumes during Joyce's lifetime? He may have enjoyed the humour of the brevity of each strip.

      Sigh. I feel like you are being willfully obtuse. This is like arguing, "how do we know Gilbert Seldes would have liked a boxed set of Chaplin when all he had was short films." The boxed set is the collection of the films, the graphic novel is the collection of the strips

      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.

      if you think he would have sat down for hours to read it bound up in 300 pages, then maybe. But since it wasn't available that way, he may have enjoyed a kind of short story sequential effect. Binge-reading or -watching is not everybody's preference.

      So people who read Oliver Twist or Portrait of the Artist or Ulysses in serialized forms (as they originally were) weren't really reading novels. What a strange argument.

      They were. Just not in a bound-up one-stop shop format. I've studied Ulysses in depth and the chapters are easily enjoyed on their own with no need to get to the "end," as you probably know.

      Anyways, I feel like this is very removed from the main point which is that original tweet I responded to made a standard high vs. low distinction between Ulysses & graphic novels which is at odds with Joyce's enjoyment of comic strips.

          You’re right re Joyce, & in general an enmity between high & low culture is wrongly attributed to the modernists
