Clough "Cartoons 'n Comics: Communication to the Quick"

In "Cartoons 'n Comics: Communication to the Quick", Joy Clough states comics are important because they"..entertain us, exercise our fantasy and reflect our wryly way of life.". I think comics should be taken seriously because they offer a window into humanity during the years they are published. I think Clough offers a chance to look at comics this way. She depicts the ways comics can point out the aspects of society that we often take seriously in main stream periodicals. She shows how social commentary can be shown in the form of a comic in order to "Educate and irritate, tickle and tease, inform and reform". I think this really develops her idea.
