2)If there was an idea about comics it was that they do not relate to real life, and there is no importance for there existance except to amuse children. Isn't that just stereotyping all comics though? Whatever happened to the hidden meanings and subliminal messages in comics. There are plenty of political cartoons that seem to find their way in the monrning paper to give people a laugh.

Obivously because all the comics are being made into movies, and they are a little too inappropriate or violent for children to watch.
