Matthew Forsythe imparts his unique brand of comics knowledge in "Comics Class" a loosely-drawn, quasi-autobiographical comic about the comics class Forsythe once taught. Hegelian dialectics, sexual politics and the detestable use of clipart in comics are just some of the issues that Forsythe tackles with his disaffected class of 11-year-olds--that is when he isn't challenging them to arm wrestle.
