vocab of comics

I thought it was interesting the technique used to give his message. I think it was clever to use a comic strip or graphic novel type layout to discuss the vocabulary of comics. I have never really thought about symbols or icons and how we assume what they mean. Also it is very true how we always make a face out of something with a dot no matter how simple or complicated the image may be.

I like the talking cars on chevron commercials… I am upset he did not mention our friend the man on the moon. The way he did use comics to explain comics baffles my mind.

I also liked the comic form to deliver the message, it made the read quicker. I didn't lose my place in all the text, becuase it was spaced out and I had a picture to associate with what little text there was.
