A Short History of AmericaRobert Crumb, 1979
Your aim is to write a short presentation on a graphic narrative. Look at A Short History of America by Robert Crumb and then answer the following questions:

2. Would it be possible to write a story to it? What would be lost if
it was expressed through words only?
3. Is there a subtext that goes beyond the series of representative
