Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
The UK Observer wrote about a book by psychologist Neil Cohn called The Visual Language of Comics, telling how they could have roots dating back to the stone-and-ice age.

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.

Interesting to see that it could potentially go that far back. I suppose the cave drawings could be considered such, even though I've also heard that they were basically the cathedrals of their day.
Another early example(this one from the Middle Ages) is the Bayeux Tapestry, considered by some to be the first comic strip.

It's okay now, I found it caught in the spam filter and brought it to the surface.
