No, you don’t need to know who Scott is to decide whether a webcomic is good or not. But if you feel that a guy is “important for some reason,” you might want to take a couple of minutes on Google to find out why, rather than just going, “Who… IS… this mysterious MICK-CLOUD?”

Dalion’s comment?
A fine comment indeed. You don’t need to know who Scott McCloud is to do webcomics reviews.

As for Dalion’s comments, I find no fault in his statement.

In Dalion’s defense, I’m not entirely sure why Scott McCloud is important either.
