See now, personally, I'm all for calling a comic a fucking comic.
Regardless of whether it's 'Maus' or The Beano.

I agree AB.
Comics is comics. I can just about stomach the term 'comic book', but novels they aren't. They can't do structure like novels do, or narrative complexity, or anything even approaching what even a bog standard novelist can do with prose.

At the risk of sounding wanly, they're two different mediums. There's totally some stuff you can't do in books you can in comics.
And with big-titted women in spandex as well.

Well of course.
Hence calling comics comics, and novels novels.
