Comic books

In a Net Neutrality Great Debate today with Dave Farber, Vint Cerf said he'd like to see an internet basics comic book.

I'm all for that — great idea.  We need much simpler ways to get the message across about this transformative change in our lives.  It would be great if more people understood that the internet wasn't a giant telephone system, with someone controlling all the communications standing in the middle blowing a whistle.

Plus, there could be superheroes.  Clearly Cerf and Kahn would be superheroes, wearing “IP on Everything” t-shirts.  There could be great battles, triumphant time-markers (”birth of Craigslist!”), and thought-bubbles from regulators (”how do I deal with this crazy thing?“).
