Anyway, the whole idea of it is that you don't stop doing it in primary school.
As for the other part of your post, I stand corrected, sorry for doubting w/e you said.

Yeah, you were clearly done.
Yes, if someone says; "Write a report or an essay on Great Expectations.", I won't get anything out of Captain America.
If someone says; "Write an essay on Captain America's involvement in the Civil War storyline.", I won't get anything out of Great Expectations.
Why is this an issue for you to understand? You get out what you want, what's relevant or what appeals to you. Length does not matter. So, your argument about comics not being as productive as books has been proven wrong, again.

You didn't. You pointed out that they're longer and that they are used in schools. You stated differences, not pros and cons.
That doesn't make them more productive, it doesn't make them a "better" medium, for reasons I stated above. I don't understand why this is so hard for you.
Do you HONESTLY wish to continue this, or can the ones here who READ COMICS, get back to discussing comics? You've got nothing left.
