Thanks. That's largely what I argued. They may or may not be different enough to warrant a distinction, but they're not influential or big enough here to justify forcing a new term.

then he started arguing in french with somebody else who agreed with me and called her unpatriotic or some shit and i stopped

I'm guessing he probably thinks Moebius and Barbarella and Tintin are much more influential in the US than they actually are. That used to be true of US comics in Europe until around the mid-90s. Nowadays, however, Western comics have become a huge source of inspiration for Hollywood and thanks to the 2008 comics boom, the worldwide market for US films is about double the size of the market in the US alone. So it's not really a fair comparison.
