Ah poor wittle boy got his wittle fweelings hurt. Maybe if you didn't mention a comic book was "real art" than nothing would have been said. Third graders know to color in between the lines. Apparently you call that real art. Hey did you see the backlash against Renoir today? Yeah, Renoir getting called out for creating "real art". I know kindergarteners who scribble better than Renoir.
