How about you, JDogg? What's your experience in the field of Native comics and sequential storytelling?<BR/><BR/>I'm enough of an authority on Native comics to get invited to speak about them at Native-oriented events and organizations. But I don't think I've ever claimed to be <I>the</I> authority. I have as much authority as my experience has given me--no more and no less.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-41673730566453109242009-01-28T18:29:00.000-08:002009-01-28T18:29:00.000-08:00Myron you're not going anywhere criticizing this g...Myron you're not going anywhere criticizing this guy. He's got a seriously misguided idea of being the "authority" on Native narrative. He has a serious case of self importance. I won't even go into the numerous problems that are inherit with white people creating what they deem to be "Native" narratives. <BR/><BR/>I'll say this much, he's got serious nerve. <BR/><BR/>Keep doing what you're doing and good luck, it sounds like a fascinating project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-52625809256646631202009-01-13T06:24:00.000-08:002009-01-13T06:24:00.000-08:00No, I wasn't curious enough to want to read more, ...No, I wasn't curious enough to want to read more, Beth. But I'd be curious about another story starring <A HREF="http://www.bluecorncomics.com/2009/01/review-of-fala.html" REL="nofollow">Fala</A>.<BR/><BR/>I don't support anything uncritically, Myron. Besides, I'm sure you get enough uncritical support from your Zeros2Heroes fans.<BR/><BR/>FYI, I'm the writer of my comics, and I'm not Native. But the comics are Native-themed even if they aren't Native-created.<BR/><BR/>I tried to use Native artists when I started, but I couldn't find any with the right mix of talent and commitment. But I got a lot of advice from my Native friends and <A HREF="http://www.bluecorncomics.com/advisors.htm" REL="nofollow">advisors</A>.<BR/><BR/>Now that more Native writers and artists are available on the Net, I plan to employ them in future publications. I'm talking to some of them now.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I never claimed to be a pioneer like the Natives who did TRIBAL FORCE. Therefore, your feeble attempt at sarcasm doesn't bother me.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-77848219241442829612008-12-11T22:55:00.000-08:002008-12-11T22:55:00.000-08:00Wow, way to support the work of REAL indigenous me...Wow, way to support the work of REAL indigenous media creators, sorry this one wasn't up to the very high standards that "Peace Party" has set in how Indigenous comics should be made (Is it even indigenous? Where are the natives involved? Names?).<BR/><BR/>You're a real pioneer, Mr. Schmidt, or should I say Colonial.<BR/><BR/>Ekosi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-16446434328422529352008-12-08T14:15:00.000-08:002008-12-08T14:15:00.000-08:00The West Was Lost is a coded story of time slippag...The West Was Lost is a coded story of time slippage. In oral storytelling, there are layers--more and more of the story is revealed the more it's heard.<BR/><BR/>Fala, another comic of mine which is coming out this Friday, is much more step by step.<BR/><BR/>This doesn't speak to my writing ability so much as the style of this comic that represents Anishinabemowin language structure where a word is not only a single word but also a description.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, are you curious? Do you want to know more? Listen again, and keep listening, until how to listen becomes clearer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-51007787244176724492008-12-02T23:44:00.000-08:002008-12-02T23:44:00.000-08:00"On a Personal Note" -"As the story opens, these I..."On a Personal Note" -<BR/><BR/>"As the story opens, these Indians are visiting or living in a small Western town. They're attacked by zombie-like white people. These pseudo-zombies may or may not be the only non-Indians remaining. They may or may not be windigos--i.e., people possessed by evil spirits."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm...,<BR/><BR/>This description sounds like the twelve years I spent in Rapid City, South Dakota.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
