Oh look. Ted Rall has a bitter little buddy now.

If you underrate Ware's "Lint", you aren't qualified to comment on his work in general. Backlash criticism just embarrasses the critic.

Honestly, I haven't read much Ware criticism that isn't falling over itself praising his draftsmanship or taking the contrarian route out of a desperate need to prove he's not all that.

Whatever your feelings about his work, Chris Ware is one of those very few folks who come along every other generation to prove you can do so much more with a particular art form.

Full disclosure: Yes, we're related, but I never name-drop because that's tacky. Also, I've followed Chris' work since the 80s, and I've interviewed and written about him several times. I know what I'm talking about.

Sorry, I'm probably going to go on about comics and their criticism in general today. Bear with me.

Comics criticism is a hopeless endeavor. It's one reason I've largely given it up.

Really appreciate that you use your platform of 200K+ followers to discourage people from writing comics criticism. Many of us are still fighting the hard fight to shine light on the comics medium.

If I thought anyone would listen to me about this, I might not have said it, but I'm pretty sure the people who write comics criticism will continue to do so.

It’s not those people I worry about. It’s the good critics who haven’t written about comics yet and now are less likely to bother.

Honestly I don't think my words have that much power. The people who are passionate about comics, who are the only critics worth having, will listen to their passion and not to me.
