I have been thinking and preparing a lot for a new blog on comics. I used to think comics were the only ones I saw from the newspapers and the typical superhero comics. But I learned it is a LOT more than that. I stumbled upon webcomics and graphic novels. So it’s called, Panel Diet, a clever name that means eating comic as a daily meal. And it is symbolic, not literal.
While there is always going to be new material to introduce new comics and such, I find it hard to find something to think to put on this blog. Maybe it’ll hit me soon. Maybe I’ll have to get used to writing in this tiny window that will send all of my words into this magical portal where all the faries and dragons live.
When Panel Diet is up and running, I’ll make an announcement about that and post the link to it.
I haven’t updated in a few weeks. And I must give props to bloggers who always have something to say in well-thought paragraphs. I used to have a blog on xanga, but that was when I was in high school and just treated like some typical journal for people I know to read.
So, strange to write this… but realizing I have been reading lots of comics, webcomics and graphic novels included, I should have a blog more focused on a particular topic. I’d like for people to know there are other great comics to read. I’ll put up the link to the blog when it’s running smoothly, as in in getting the regular updates.
Although a working thought that I came up with today… I figured what is one of the (probably the most) dangerous rhetoric.
Advertisements.
Advertisements are crucial for companies with products to sell. They need an outlet to let people know about their innovative products and services. And very, very rarely, will one hear them admitting a few not-so-good points about their products. But when watching, reading, or listening an advertisement, one should be careful.
They together seem to paint a picture that the “neighborhood” around you is nice and peaceful. And they press on that if you buy their products and/or services, your world will become more peaceful and at ease when the world is a bit more imperfect and loud.
There would be posters in casinos, hotels, and restaurants of people having a good time there, always smiling. It seems good to be having a good time. Look at it, they are happy and content. And there’s this implied question that asks, “what about you? Don’t you want to join us happy people having a good time?”
It is a food for thought.
