McCloud Vocabulary Of Comics...or is it?

I actually found more vocabulary in McCloud's other piece, where as here I found the concept of perception and comic idea to prevalint. I guess all in all that's still considered vocab, but his appoarch was very well thought out. The opening of the pipe, or should I say the copy of copy of copy of a copy of a drawing that was a painting of a real pipe, drives the readers mind into the concept of perception. When McCloud starts talking about our ability to see ourselves in everything, only to realize we have no concrete image of ourself. This brings up an interesting concept, it like when we wrote the word on our hand; we have a "metaphorical" sense of who we are, we can descride our traits and our basic characterists, but we have no "literal sense of who we are, like how we were blurred in the picture, or even when we aren't blurred we may see ourself and no it s us but still its nots concrete. So when we see other people we can see both the "literal" and "metaphorical" perceptions of people. Relating that back to McCloud, we need to look at both the "literal" and the "metaphorical"...examine what the books says at face value and what the means, ie: authors intent or/and your own deeper meaning.
