I'm gonna play Bill Clinton here, though, and say that it depends on what you think the word "can" means. I can't play guitar. I can TRY, but at this moment, I CAN'T. So, I'd argue back that not everybody CAN do comics. Like you said, one can TRY, but Ms. Dargis might have been a little more clear. Regardless, I'd bet that if you said to her or any of her colleagues at the NY TIMES that anybody with a Blogspot account can be considered a journalist, they'd wince like I did.

I took the comment in the spirit of a punk rock, DIY-ethos. Anyone with pen & paper, a guitar, camera, etc. can create (but of course, that doesn't mean they should...).

No, Ms. Dargis, they're not-- anymore than someone "write a book" with pencil and paper. In fact, they're aren't many people in the world who can do what we do in this business. BTW, nice seeing you briefly this weekend, Heidi!

She's one of the most wonderful film critics out there and certainly the one of the bunch that is the furthest from fitting the definition of snooty that comes to mind... That she is able to see Comic-Con for what it is comes as no surprise to her readers! Please, please, please tell me you didn’t mean it when you called her snooty!
