Munnabhai and Circuit to be comic book franchise.

Freaking idiots. Doesn’t the term “over-exposure” mean anything? I am trying to figure out if the comics will be in English, and if so, will they give Circuit an Irish brogue. Local flavour and all that. You do not get a Mumbaiyya accent in ENGLISH, you numbskulls. ( Am I perturbed? Do I sound perturbed? I am not perturbed, no sir.)

Andrew Arnold’s Time.Comix column comes to an end. Goddamn, I loved reading the guy’s recommendations, and he was one of the truly balanced reviewers who knew not only how to review a graphic novel, but also which graphic novels deserve to be talked about. Andrew, without your column, I don’t think I would have ever bought Persepolis, or picked up Buddha when it was first released in India with a 600-plus price-tag. I might not have agreed with all of his views, but I certainly respected them.

Of course, all his past columns lie archived on Time.com, but…damn it, I will miss the regular articles. I will miss ticking out the entries in the Best of the Year write-ups, the ones I have read. I hope Andrew Arnold contintues to write about graphic novels somewhere.
