No references/notes. Where is the Clowes quote from? --Gothamgazette 22:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The most authoritative source I've found for the Clowes quote is the Amazon.com editorial review. --Sloop Jon (talk) 01:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

Some serious NPOV editing is called for. I love the book too, but more description and less "beautiful", "amazing", etc. would be good. ←Hob 23:16, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

superhero stereotype

Not sure that this is a relevant observation here. The "superhero stereotype" is US-centric for one thing. Also, comics is not a genre but a medium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.33.28.52 (talk • contribs)

No, those are both valid points. I've gone ahead and updated the sentence to address your concerns. --W.marsh 12:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

enid's last name

i don't have the book to hand, but i thought it was cohn. though she is accused of being jewish and called cohen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.134.210 (talk • contribs)

She claimed her father changed the name to Coleslaw from Cohn. The guy thinks she said Cohen, she corrects him but implies that she is Jewish anyway. --W.marsh 17:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Clowes-9847.jpg

Image:Clowes-9847.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is it fair to call them pseudo intelgent —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.169.23 (talk) 21:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Intelgent? No. A trillion times NAY!!!!!!! Verily verily I mumble unto thee; No

Perhaps "faux intellectuals"? Maybe. As long as doing so makes thine liver quiver with unadulterated delight. Why did I have a sudden, unexpected hankering for a Ding Dong? You DO recall those Hostess brand devil's food cakes, round, with a chocolaty outer crust and a white-colored creamy-type inner filling.

SLOP?

"Ghost World is a comic book written and illustrated in SLOP..."

What's a "SLOP", for us who have no clue...?
