Frazetta versus Herriman and other Battles to the Death

It is here that I wish Mr. Devlin had properly written that editorial about how "the Worship of EC Comics has retarded Comics", something he copped out of.

The more interesting comparison might be between Frank Frazetta and Max Ernst. I have no idea where I picked up on the artist Max Ernst, but when I wrote a (ahem) "deconstructionist piece of dada fiction" for 12th grade English class, I has him as Detective Marcel Duchamp's assistant. Max Ernst is better than Frank Frazetta (technically proficient though the illustrator be).

I met someone in college (a classmate in a Literature class) who bemonaed the dearth of attention to the passing of Jim Varney (of "Earnest Goes Camping" fame) in relation to the attention paid to the passing of Charles Schulz.
