A.) The father of the funnybooks as we know them to day would likely be Will Eisner, who, beyond any shadow of a doubt, single-handedly invented comic book art as a medium. He's inspired about everyone who is in the business today, young or old, and still, despite his old age, loves to read, write, draw, and discuss comics! The man's a genius!
Q.) Who put the "bomp" in the "bomp-she-bomp-she-bomp"? Was it the same guy who put the "ram" in the "ram-a-lamma-ding-dong"?
