Do you think comic are a children's or adult genre/media?



Comic gives us laughing and memories of childhood back. I think comic can be a genre to adult and children. As a child, when I was young, I watched cartoons with my friends. After that, we shared our feelings and reviews. In additionally, many boys like to watch some hero’s cartoon such as Bat man or Spider man. The other hands, many girls love to watch princess cartoon such as Cinderella, or Snow White. After that they were pretend to be those heroes or princesses. So it is an excellent genre and media enjoyed by children. Now in my case, I like to watch cartoon and also many adults like to watch a cartoon or read a comic. This is because that sometimes people want to cast back to their childhood. For example, if we talk about TinTin or some old cartoon, we will talk a lot regardless of age. Comic is always giving a pleasure and good memories to adults for reminding my childhood. So in the future, If I am old than now, I will talk about TinTin with my grand children. This is because that TinTin has many histories and morals. Also, it is a good material for my grand children because they might be never know some stories of comic what I enjoyed. Thus, I will be able to communicate with my grand children about my reviews of comic or any other new comic which I do not know now. As a result, comic is a children genre also adult. So we have to develop and maintain. Therefore I believe that comic will probably go on forever undiminished in popularity.

  1. I would say it would be both children s and adults. and again it varies on what type of comics they are reading. as for example tintin I still find fascinating to read even till now as a adult as you have more understanding of the comic as what it was trying to portrays. although some parts can be cliche. Now in this generation even old people read comics because the author of a comic can have the ability to put various of genres in it. and also he/she has the power what to put whether be it for children or adults. furthermore is that in this generation even in media's cartoons and such has the appeal to adults and children. so lastly in my oppinion it is to both children and adults.

  3. I agree that as an adult, re-reading old comic books brings a smile to my face. But do you think that the only reason "comic [books] will probably go on forever undiminished in popularity" is because of the fond memories they give us as adults? Or is it something else? For me, it's not only because of the memories it brings back, but because I am able to read it differently and notice things I wasn't able to understand back then (i.e, reading through the lines and seeing the pictures in more detail etc). In Tintin, for example, there is so much that a child wouldn't quite understand, like the political propoganda for one! What do you think?
