      35. Energy of artists like Crumb comes from willingness to tap into their id. The critic is an unwelcome super-ego.

      36. Spiegelman ran into real trouble with fellow underground cartoonists because Spiegelman was too much a critic.

      37. Spiegelman urged his fellow underground cartoonists to refine their art -- because of their instinctive approach they resented.

      38. The fist fight between Spiegelman and S. Clay Wilson was ultimately rooted in battle between instinctive id artist & super-ego critic.

      39. Instinctive artists very resistant to criticism: if you tell Crumb not do minstrel show image, he's much more likely to do it.

      40. Same principle: if you tell Charlie Hebdo not to draw Mohammed, they are much more likely to draw Mohammed.

      41. Do not think about an elephant. Do not draw the Prophet. You see the problem? The mind is not so easily harnessed.

      42. The underground cartoonist is by profession the class clown. Lectures by teachers or even detention is not going to stop them.

      43. In any case, criticism shouldn't be directed at getting artists to change their work but rather to help us understand that work.

      44. In Charlie Hebdo case, we've had much punditry, much position taking, much grandstanding. But little actual criticism looking at the art

      45. So, in conclusion, what we need is the type of criticism Spiegelman writes: formalist, informed, & aware of social context.

          @HeerJeet New CH cover a case in point: complex ambiguous image w many readings is interpreted simplistically according to viewer's agenda.

          @HeerJeet Everyone's so quick to label drawings as "good" "bad" or even "evil" they don't take the time to really *explore* them.

          @HeerJeet Even harder for people to do when the images are treated as inherently dangerous, toxic, radioactive, too hot to handle, etc.

          .@HeerJeet Yes 1000x, but problem & irony remain. Tolerance-based censor: prevent discourse that ends conversation. Do ? w that discourse??
