Wiping away the past (Destiny)

As for comics, I regret telling you not to work on them. While I stand by my belief that they are a medium essentially replaced by better media, the fact of the matter is those other better media are very resource intensive. Not everybody has those resources, so if you wish to hone your skills in comics and don't have a bazillion dollars to make animation, that's perfectly fine, and you can learn a lot about your craft by doing so. You might even make the best comic book ever!

Cody, I love you, you ridiculous man. After several years, you've modified your opinion that a medium should not exist... because now you think it acts as training for a better medium. I haven't read further yet, I hope you stopped after this, because no one's going take you that seriously in this thread or probably this month. Yes, you have some valid points elsewhere, the genre and even the medium of something should open for people to say "really, you picked that?", but you reiterated that an artist's chosen medium-- an artist this community is quite fond of-- serves only as the tricycle to another medium's bicycle. That's... I love you, man, I can't stop grinning.
I am curious, still, and I'll ask since it was brought up again, why does this not apply to a book? Everything supersedes books, but IIRC you don't think they're obsolete.
