It's not a failed screenplay that I tried to, that I was like, I guess I'll turn this into a comic.
Yeah.
Personally, like a graphic novel, you know, good example.
There's a really good one from Canada called ducks by Kate Beaton.
And it tells, um, the author's story about being on the oil, uh,
fields in alberta and just the destitution just it's just a you know late capitalism just like just extracting resources from the world at like without any
care consideration.
And then you've got these, so these shitty conditions, and then you've got these people that are just kind of at the edge of society and how they behave and they behave kind of poorly.
And in her case, she was assaulted.
And so it sort of tells her story.
It's a very harrowing, very serious story, very beautifully told.
And
you know, an essential book.
And like, there's so many like that, that are so good and it's big and you know, it's like, it's 300 pages or whatever.
And you feel like you're, you're reading a novel in graphic form.
And then, so then a comic, you know, to me, like one of my favorite books,
comics is nancy ernie bushmiller it was a comic strip in the newspaper started out as another character and she was nancy was just the the niece of this main character in like the 30s or the 40s and then it just went until his death and then it even carried on after that but it's just a gag you know it's a gag comic
There's no like greater goal.
I mean, sometimes there is with Calvin and Hobbes.
I think there was like he was touching on some like deeper ideas and stuff.
