Unbeige reports that some narrative-comics-drawing artists, like Marjane Satrapi and Chris Ware, don't much like the label they're being marketed under. Here's Satrapi quoting Ware: "He says [the term 'graphic novel'] sounds like Lady Chatterley's Lover."

Meanwhile, if you haven't seen Persepolis yet, run, don't walk to your nearest comicsplex! It's beautiful, thought-provoking, and very satisfying.
