i am the real henry jenkins
no! i am the real henry jenkins
why are you wearing a tie then?
Well... the guys who drew me didn't know about my preference for braces... and anyway... you're wearing a tie too!
Ok... i see your point. but isn't this a case of transmedia appropriation and reworking?
what?!?
an example of creative authors taking the image 0f a well known public intellectual and adapting it for their own ends?
by wearing a tie?!?
Yes, and thereby asserting their agency by 'poaching' from the media around them and reshaping it to serve their own needs and interests
are you serious?!? It's a F**king tie!
it may be a tie to you or me, but to those who appropriate these images, it has the potential to represent a whole swathe of differing symbolic interpretations...
mmm...
such as authority, education, class... the list is endless. it can even come to symbolise different things within other national contexts
ok, Ok...
Yes?
I have to admit... You are the real henry jenkins

I'm guessing it's because Henry put it up on his blog - I'll be the first to admit that the cartoon isn't that great!

So... how did this strip get 2,251 views when it was published just 5 days ago by someone who joined the day before? I did laugh, but what's up with the weird stats?
