Andrew Arnold writes a column for TIME Magazine's online version, Time.com, about comix. Time.comix focuses mainly on reviewing print comix – in the past he's written about Andi Watson and Jason Shiga, as well as defending his use of the term comix rather than comics.

Reading Bueno the Bear is like being let in on a really good inside joke -- you can be laughing all the way through, if you’re in the right frame of mind. Created by Pendleton Ward, Bueno the Bear exposes us to a bear and a handful of his friends as they do everything from pounce on bugs to stare at the sky.

I draw a comic strip about mad geniuses. You know, evil-scientist types, with the insane laughter and the bubbling vats of unwholesome chemicals and the tampering in God’s domain. One of the themes I try to get across, and probably don’t most of the time, is the idea that genius isn’t just a matter of brains. Genius, the real rare deal, is all about seeing the world in a way no one’s ever seen it before.

Jason Shiga’s a mad genius. A real one.

When I look for a comic, I'm most often attracted to the things published with girls in mind. When I was younger, it was Archie. I read so many digests and individual comics (which are still in my parents basement in a large box) that I could tell you what era a story came from based on what Betty and Veronica were wearing.

And man, did I love the pin-ups in the Betty and Veronica comics.
