The latest volume in University of Mississippi Press&#8217; series compiling interviews with individual cartoonists features Chris Ware. It is edited by Jean Braithwaite, characteristically beautifully covered by Ware himself, and includes a compelling selection of very different interviews spanning the cartoonist&#8217;s career &#8212; including rarely-seen ones made very early on in his career as well as a couple of brand new ones with Ware and one with his wife Marnie. </p>
<p>The book also contains my 2010 conversation (see <a target="new" href="http://classic.tcj.com/alternative/interview-with-chris-ware-part-1-of-2/">here</a> and <a target="new" href="http://classic.tcj.com/alternative/interview-with-chris-ware-part-2-of-2/">here</a>) with Ware from the Copenhagen comics festival Komiks.dk (which has since changed its name to Copenhagen Comics and whose most recent edition is <a target="new" href="http://copenhagencomics.dk/">coming up next month</a>). I am proud in general to be in this series for the second time (the first was the <a target="new" href="http://www.upress.state.ms.us/books/1611">Chester Brown volume</a>; see also <a target="new" href="http://metabunker.dk/?page_id=16">here</a>) and in this particular, skilfully edited volume in particular. <a target="new" href="http://www.upress.state.ms.us/books/1950">Do check it out.</a></p>

<p><em>The week in review</em></p>
<p>This week I have a Danish-context comics-related grievance I want to address, so please excuse the shift in language here. International links below!</p>
<p>Bogtillægget til denne uges <em>Weekendavis</em> skæmmes af et fejlinformeret og tendentiøst opslag. En ærgerlig plet på en ellers som regel velredigeret og seriøs publikation. Kan det overraske, at emnet for begge artikler på opslaget er tegneserierelateret?</p>
<p>På venstresiden får vi en kommentar til sidste uges <a target="new" href="http://nummer9.dk/nyheder/strid-vinder-kronprinsparrets-kulturpris/">tildeling</a> af Kronsprinsparrets Kulturpris til tegneren Jakob Martin Strid, skrevet af Bo Bjørnvig, der tydeligvis stadig ikke er kommet sig over halvfemsernes skingre presseopgør med tressernes venstrefløj (kan læses online <a target="new" href="http://www.weekendavisen.dk/smarticle/view/2">her</a>). Bjørnvig pointerer det pudsige i, at folk &#8212; herunder kunstnere &#8212; bliver mere konservative med årene, mere specifikt at Strid (og Bjørn Nørgaard, og givetvis også, ad åre, dilletanterne i kunstnergruppen Surrend) fralægger sig tidligere tiders ekstreme holdninger for mere samfundsbevarende af slagsen. Der bliver minsandten også plads til en stikpille til Carsten Jensen.</p>
<p>Alt er, med andre ord, ved det gamle. <span id="more-5057"></span>Og Bjørnvig tager da heller ikke fejl i sin observation, om end hans inddragelse af de andre kunstnere forekommer irrelevant. Problemet er imidlertid, at han hovedsageligt baserer sine anklager mod Strid på et groft redigeret, misvisende citat. Med henvisning til den berygtede episode i <em>Politiken</em>striben <em>Strid</em> fra 2000, hvor tegnerens alter-ego tog til genmæle mod Carsten Jensens udtalelser om, at den tyske stat havde hans fulde sympati da de jagtede Rote Armee Fraktions medlemmer til døde, skriver Bjørnvig: </p>
<blockquote><p>I sin daglige stribe i Politiken roste tegneseriepersonen Strid Rote Armee Fraktions Â»likvideringÂ« af Â»tidligere nazister, erhvervsfolk og politikere Â«. Var det terrorisme? Â»Gu er det ej : det var fedt!!!Â« </p></blockquote>
<p>Bjørnvig udelader her broderparten af Strids tekst. I den omtalte stribe, som kan læses <a target="new" href="http://metabunker.dk/rackham/anmeldelse/billeder/Strid/RAF.jpg">her</a>, forklarer Strid ikke alene hvorfor han syntes de omtalte likvideringer var retfærdiggjorte, men refererer specifikt til RAFs angreb på den amerikanske militærbase i Frankfurt i 1972 &#8212; en aktion, som han mener reddede utallige nordvietnamesiske liv, fordi den stoppede de amerikanske napalmbombninger der i over tolv timer (om det så er korrekt er en anden sag). Det er det, Strid fremhæver som &#8220;fedt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Det kunne ikke ligge mig fjernere at forsvare de likvideringer Strid tydeligvis støttede dengang, ej heller har jeg nogen som helst sympati for Rote Armee Fraktion, men jeg synes det er trist endnu engang at se Strids ungdommelige idioti blive gjort alvorligere end det var og samtidig se alle de ganske væsentlige mellemregninger skåret fra, mellemregninger der trods knytter an til en kontekst, der bl.a. omfatter USAs krigshandlinger i Vietnam og den Persiske golf. Fordrejende kritik har vi nok af, uden at <em>Weekendavisen</em> behøver at hoppe på vognen.</p>
<p>(Derudover vil læsere af<em> Strid</em> helt roligt kunne afvise Bjørnvigs spekulationer om, at tegneren i sin stribe måske også kunne have fundet på at springe Amalienborg i luften: Strid har altid udvist en god gammeldags, småborgerlig begejstring for kongehuset).</p>
<p>På højresiden af bogtillægget finder vi en anmeldelse af Tim Hamiltons tegneserieudgave af Ray Bradburys <em>Fahrenheit 451</em>, som forlaget Fahrenheit har udsendt på dansk i anledning af sit 20-årsjubilæum. Anmelderen, Damian Argimbau, tager fat i Bradburys påstand &#8212; <a target="new" href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2012/06/ray_bradbury_fahrenheit_451.php">sent i livet</a> &#8212; af, at bogens centrale tema er mediernes fordummende virkning på os. Selvom han godt kan lide tegneserien, fører dette nærmest Pavlovsk Argimbau til at konkludere: </p>
<blockquote><p>[det er] lidt ironisk, at netop Bradburys roman præsenteres som tegneserie, primært henvendt til en målgruppe, der bruger flere timer foran skærmen end den bruger på bøger. I den forstand fik den gamle forfatter ret: Fjernsynet og skærmen har i den grad taget over, at ældre klassikere nu må genudsendes med masser af billeder og færre ord, så man kan sikre sig, at de stadig bliver læst.</p></blockquote>
<p>Argimbaus fører altså en hel række historisk konsoliderede fordomme om tegneserier og unges brug af medier til torvs: at tegneserier primært er for børn, at tegneserier er mindre udfordrende og værdifulde end &#8220;rigtige&#8221; bøger, at børns medieforbrug er skadeligt og &#8212; må man formode &#8212; at tegneserieformen grundlæggende rummer fordummende karakteristika. Jeg ved godt det er naivt, men jeg troede vi efterhånden var nået lidt videre, i hvert fald når det kommer til kulturelt sofistikerede medier som <em>Weekendavisen</em>. Vi skriver, trods alt, 2012.</p>

<p><em>The week in review</em></p>
<p>Not much to report from this angle this week, apart from the fact that the Jewish new year reminds me that I&#8217;ve been back in the ole home country for over a year now. <a href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=3510">Last year&#8217;s Rosh Hashannah</a> kind of marked a <a href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=3490">fresh return to new beginnings</a> here and it&#8217;s been a great ride since then, <a href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=3750">one of the best years I&#8217;ve had.</a> Thanks to everybody taking part.</p>
<p>Links!</p>
<li>I would like to supplement this week&#8217;s welcome <a target="new" href="http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&#038;show=Piskor-and-Hip-Hop-Comics.html&#038;Itemid=113">announcement</a> that Fantagraphics is going to publish Ed Piskor&#8217;s online comic <a target="new" href="http://boingboing.net/author/wimpyrutherford"><em>The Hip Hop Family Tree</em></a> with <a target="new" href="http://www.ptas.dk/read-a-book-interview-med-ed-piskor-om-the-hip-hop-family-tree-tegneserien/">this interview</a> with Piskor, conducted by my man PTA on said piece of edutainment.</li>
<li>Also in comics, the Hooded Utilitarian&#8217;s five-year <a href="http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2012/09/index-of-hate/">Anniversary of Hate!</a> has brought some good criticism to the table. I liked in particular <a href="http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2012/09/in-search-of-bad-comics/">Steven Grant&#8217;s essay</a> on bad comics and why the field still makes sense as a vocation. Plus! HU has reprinted Ng Suat Tong&#8217;s notorious <em>Comics Journal</em> <a href="http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2012/09/ec-comics-and-the-chimera-of-memory-part-1-of-2/">essay</a> from 2003 on why the EC New Trend comics are among the most overrated in the canon, supplemented by a <a href="http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2012/09/ec-comics-and-the-chimera-of-memory-part-2-of-2/">back-and-forth</a> on the issue with R. Fiore.</li>

<li>Meanwhile in hip hop, I really enjoyed what El-P <a href="http://www.factmag.com/2012/09/03/the-100-best-albums-of-the-1990s-100-81/95/">had to say</a> about Nas&#8217; classic debut album Illmatic (1993) in this otherwise rather dumb list of best albums of the nineties, and I totally dug <a href="http://www.freeonsmash.com/news/2012/09/14/check-out-vintage-footage-of-kanye-west-and-his-mother-rapping-together/">this video</a> of a young Kanye West rapping with his mom.</li>

It doesn&#8217;t change, however, that there is <em>no way</em> the Buffalo <em>PietÃ </em> at its center was painted by Michelangelo. Look at it. The provenance may be compelling, though the argument about the wax seal on the back seems iffy. And the underdrawing could of course be by the master, as the owner and his conservator champion claim, but the cropped infrared published in the interactive section of the article (look right) is hard to judge by. Nothing about it yells Michelangelo at this viewer though.
