Don't feel the need to defend your comment. Hell I'm more inclined to check it out for the Looney Tunes reference. I think all comics could benefit from more Chuck Jones influences. And, Kevin, thank you for this feature--the Pfeifer quote made me chuckle. Josh, enjoy the coverage.

I don't necessarily MIND the label (I read a lot of manga and its clearly a big influence on my work and the art shows an obvious manga influence as well), I'm just leery of the whole "OEL manga" thing as it seems like an attempt to cash in on a fad. I certainly think that's how most manga fans perceive it at any rate. So call it manga, call it a graphic novel, call it comics -- I'm just out write a good story.
