Talk:Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary

Modify importance rating. I think that a strong argument could be made that if there were a list of the 10 most important works of underground comics, this book would be on it. ike9898 21:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Reassessed to Mid. The article doesn't give the impression of being about a high-importance topic, and the lack of sources doesn't help. Certainly doesn't look to be of the same level of importance, even within underground comix, as the works of Crumb, Spiegelman, Corben, Hernandez, ... or things like Freak Brothers, Fritz the Cat, Zap Comix, or underground comix as a whole.

 * I'm not going to reassess the importance of this page (I don't want to be accused of a conflict of interest after having contributed a lot to the page), but "Certainly doesn't look to be of the same level of importance, even within underground comix, as the works of Crumb, Spiegelman, Corben, Hernandez, ... or things like Freak Brothers, Fritz the Cat, Zap Comix, or underground comix as a whole." ranks as one of the most ignorant things I've read this year. Crumb's whole autobio streak was a direct result of Binky Brown, Spiegelman claims there would have been no Maus without Binky Brown (and even wrote the introduction to the Binky Brown Sampler, and always made a space for Brown in Raw), Jim Woodring has only the highest praise for this work, the Comics Journal, in its  Comics Journal ranked this single 44-page story ahead of Crumb's entire body of work from Weirdo in the 80s and 90s (and everything else Crumb did)...Jesus, how much more proof do you need of the enormous significance of this book?
 * The article itself is not well done. It needs a lot more attention.  But the significance of the story itself is beyond dispute.    C ü R l y T ü R k e y   Talk  Co n T r ibs  02:35, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've finally gotten around to giving this article the attention it deserves. I'll be doing more work on it, but the bulk of it is done. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 05:33, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
