As a comic, I used to know more about pop culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In general, I feel so much of pop culture is set in the generic big city, particularly comics. I feel like there are so many other stories to tell.
In their heyday, comics were a dominant force in popular culture, but that's over.
The Pop art I wound up doing came to me purely from 'Mad' comics. I loved the idea of doing fun stuff. I met an art dealer who wanted to show the work - that was in January 1962 - and that was the beginning for me.
I'm realizing I'm not hip enough to know for sure what would be considered pop-culture.
People love their comic books.
Back then, I was doing more of my impression of what a comic is supposed to do.
I really wasn't into comic books growing up.
I believe that pop culture is just, like, so ready for 'Watchmen.' We tried so hard to ride that wave between satire and reality, and all the things that make you still care about the character, but you don't miss the commentary about them.
When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.
No, I'm not a comic book guy. I'm pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.
