Comics in the News

This one’s good for a chuckle. From Fox News, Japan Lawmakers Scolded for Reading Comics. The senior member of one of the political parties scolded the younger members of his party for reading comics in full view of the Prime Minister. Now, he was scolding them because they were being impolite, not just because they were reading comics.
One of the last sentences of the article was quite telling:
Comic books, often with adult themes, are common reading material for middle-aged men.
If only this statement held true in the West!
