Where should Webcomics go? #63

I see your comment under literature, but I'm not sure if I agree with you for webcomics.

Would something like this be considered literature? Or is it an image? Webpage?

Probably already figured out an answer but...

"Comics aren't like plays, novels, or essays. Those things are real literature.” Comics are usually comprised of art, with or without text, arranged in sequence. As such, they are different from plays, novels, or essays.

This isn't saying comics isn't literature - this is arguing wether webcomics is a webpage, an image, or if it's indeed comics.

I think it's hard to make the case that XKCD is in the same genre as "Spiderman"-comicbooks.
