From the Vocabulary of Comics

I had to say that I really liked the way McCloud used a comic book to explain comic books. This is a weird way to do it but in a way it worked great. I really liked the way he was able to just keep your attention in all these different ways. I loved the way at the beginning how he kept explaining how this isn't a pipe, its a picture of a pipe, well no its a drawing of a picture of a pipe, but wait no its a printed copy of a drawing of a painting of a pipe. It just kept on going on and on it was interesting since it made you think of how comics work and how they make things seem one way but really they aren't. It made you understand what words in comics meant in a way. It was a great of explaining vocab of comics, and I greatly enjoyed it.
