New York Times:
What do “Moby-Dick,” “Crime and Punishment” and the iTunes terms and conditions agreement all have in common? Each is epically long, and despite a nagging feeling that you should have read it, you probably haven’t.
For his new graphic novel, “Terms and Conditions,” out on Tuesday, Mr. Sikoryak (who often signs his work “R. Sikoryak”) upped the difficulty level for his long-term conceptual project: Instead of abridging a book, he lifted the complete text of Apple’s mind-numbing corporate boilerplate, which users must agree to before accessing iTunes, and mashed it up with art invoking more than a century of comics.
The EULA so many of us click through without ever bothering to read is ripe for parody and mockery.
It’s not really a parody. It’s not really a comic “about” the terms and conditions.
The art and the text are a non-sequitur.
I’ve griped about this with another comic adaptation of an Apple document, the App Review Guidelines, as well.
But this project does serve an artistic purpose: The homages to different artists on each page that this one artist engages in (all while having the Steve Jobs like narrator being included in some shape or form).
The App Review comic doesn’t really serve much artistic purpose, and I suspect it was inspired by this iTunes U.A. comic. This leads me to add to my complaints about it, as being derivative of, and distracting from, a much better work.
