Should SFWA consider opening membership to writers of comic books and graphic novels?

[Wow, that was a dull way to frame that. Please add "Why or why not?]

Inspired by a discussion on one of the blogs that I read regularly, which I will not name for the moment so that people will not run over there and have their reactions influenced by the discussions that have already occured.

Hard to say. What sort of pay grade does one have to get to be a professional graphic novelist? Does inking count?

If it's a writers' association, I would imagine that anyone who writes a comic book script or story would be eligible, but not someone whose contribution is solely in the visual aspect (art, inking, storyboarding, etc.).

Just like you can qualify by writing the screenplay for a movie, but not by being, say, the cinematographer.
