Sikoryak tackles the monstrously and infamously dense legal document, iTunes Terms and Conditions, the contract everyone agrees to but no one reads. In a word for word 94-page adaptation, Sikoryak hilariously turns the agreement on its head--each page features an avatar of Apple cofounder and legendary visionary Steve Jobs juxtaposed with a different classic strip such as Mort Walker's \u003ci\u003eBeatle Bailey\u003c\/i\u003e, or a contemporary graphic novel such as Craig Thompson's \u003ci\u003eBlankets\u003c\/i\u003e or Marjane Satrapi's \u003ci\u003ePersepolis\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdapting the legalese of the iTunes Terms and Conditions into another medium seems like an unfathomable undertaking, yet Sikoryak creates a surprisingly readable document, far different from its original, purely textual incarnation and thus proving the accessibility and flexibility of comics. When Sikoryak parodies Kate Beaton's \u003ci\u003eHark A Vagrant \u003c\/i\u003epeasant comics with Steve Jobs discussing objectionable material or Homer Simpson as Steve Jobs warning of the penalties of copyright infringement, \u003ci\u003eTerms and Conditions\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a surreal record of our modern digital age where technology competes with enduringly ironclad mediums.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Terms and Conditions | R Sikoryak | Paperback | 9781770462748 | Used: Like New | Comics \u0026 Graphic Novels 1723805 (temp: 10)","offer_id":48167387398296,"sku":"1723805","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81fYEk6pp1L.jpg?v=1771945384","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/terms-and-conditions","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
