Questions For The Masses: #1

Comments Off | Posted: April 28th, 2008 | Filed under: Uncategorized

This week, I’m going to be in decidedly low-content mode, as I’ve given myself a few projects guaranteed to ensure my inability to blog very much. That’s why I’m opening up the floor to you with Questions for the Masses.

Here’s the first one:

There is frequently talk of a comics canon, or a body of work that is generally accepted as the most valid representation of the medium. For instance, Watchmen , Maus, and Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s run on Fantastic Four are generally considered part of the canon.

Does porn have a canon? Do regular pornographic viewers and critics feel that you have to have seen and reviewed the merits of Where The Boys Aren’t 7 or Analyze These before engaging in a discussion about the genre as a whole?
