My nine year old left a notebook on our bedroom reading chair.
At the top of the page, a title: "COMic BOy," underlined.
"Whoa nelly," I thought, "little man has a grasp of the generic."
Opening text: " Hi I am COMic boy as you can See. Or can you."
Following it, an image: a stick figure, long of leg, arms dangling downward from below the chin of the head circle. Unadorned, unvarnished. As simple a comic representation of a person, as it gets. Stripped of features, empty face. Standing on a lined page, without environment.
Generic?
I think not. As you can see. Or can you?
