If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monologue, this was it: a common misconception among people is that comics are just for kids. That is like saying that novels over 100 pages are just for adults. It doesn't matter the age of the person, they could read a 1000 page book or a 10 page comic book, it just matters on the preference of the person.
I happen to sympathize with those who believe that comic can be for anyone, perhaps because after reading McCloud I think I could really enjoy comics even though some might think I'm too old to be reading comics.
