Comments on: Why doesn’t Oprah support graphic novels? http://www.popcultureshock.com/why-doesnt-oprah-support-graphic-novels/48228/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:19:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rich Watson http://www.popcultureshock.com/why-doesnt-oprah-support-graphic-novels/48228/comment-page-1/#comment-543712 Rich Watson Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:29:30 +0000 http://www.popcultureshock.com/?p=48228#comment-543712 Looking over her past selections, I see that she doesn't just pick contemporary novels... so I suppose one could imagine that happening. But I think it's likelier she'd go with an acclaimed woman creator.

If she did a GN, you know it would be a bona-fide classic that has been so picked over that it would be safe and not so controversial anymore. Can't you see her and Art Spiegelman walking the streets together and talking about "just how amazing" comics are...wow! and they're being written for adults now too? Then she'd have Michael Chabon on the show to provide additional commentary....ha ha. Aya would be cool, though. I know, but that’s my point!

I'd be interested to see what she thinks of something more recent, like FUN HOME or BLANKETS or BOX OFFICE POISON. As worthy as MAUS is, it’s also been written and talked about to death by now.

I hope she takes notice... I can see her picking Maus or maybe Persepolis - but my money would be on Maus. Hey, you score major points for this headline alone!
