I am tempted to start a (off-topic) discussion about the meaning and
relevance of the word "interesting". Instead here is just something
to think about:

If I would go outside right now and ask people on the street, whether
they find Disney comics interesting, probably 99 of 100 would answer:
Disney comics are not interesting enough for me to speak about, let
alone
start long discussions about historical background, artists'
expressions,
publication schedules or character biographies.

Or to rephrase the question: Does it really matter what stories about
mice and
ducks some people draw on sheets of paper? - To us it matters a lot,
doesn't it?
