Great episode. I learned a lot -- and I say this as someone who can't stand Corben and stands on the opposite side of the aesthetic divide mentioned. But I think the divide isn't over "art vs. content" so much as art that is cognitively challenging and art that isn't.

Hmm, that’s an interesting take, though I think it’s only partial - I love Kim Deitch, for example, though I don’t get a great cognitive challenge from him; indeed, the commingling of animation design texture and his faux-autobio storytelling is critical to the effect of the work

Which is to say, the ease of engagement is a necessary means of enunciating his tall tales. This is, of course, a complicated thing, but it functions because it seems to involve little ‘effort’ on the reader’s part.

I suppose it’s “sophisticated” rather than “challenging” (in the manner of Victor Moscoso or early Spiegelman or something)...

yeah, "sophisticated" is a good short-hand for the divide.
