Same as with food, American culture is one of rapid growth and excess, whereas Europeans, especially in the south, tend to go a bit slower, with a bit more respect for tradition.

That seems pretty apt. America has arguably been a sort of pyramid scheme since its founding, with the territories and vast natural resources of the area encouraging some of the worst sorts of oversight, lawlessness and mismanagement across multiple levels.

But as for comics, American stuff tends to be too performative for me. It doesn’t tell the truth nor relate to me nearly as much as Euro stuff does.

TBF this blog is playing a big part in that return.

Cool! It does seem like a “blog” at times, altho eventually I’m hoping it turns in to a healthy community with multiple people contributing.

Thanks also for the opinions and recommendation. Good comments are also a form of valued contribution. :-)
