McCloud!

There is such a huge perspective and view of comic books that is constantly missed by society because when people hear comic books they assume it is someone who is just sitting around reading about violence and useless knowledge. In reality, comics are very educational and easy ways for a writer to communicate with the reader and for the reader to in turn relate themselves into the comic. The different levels of comic drawing are fascinating in how the motive or message the writer has will impact the view how they draw the comic. It is crazy how if the writer wants to relate to a wide variety of people, they just need to draw more simple pictures so that any person can put themselves in the situation. Like McCloud described, TV is just like a comic book and how children love their shows because the characters are simple, easy to relate to, and the children can imagine themselves in the situation.
The history that McCloud describes about Comics is very interesting and is often forgotten OR is specially labeled as a separate category outside of comics. I love that definition of comic he gives by describing it as “juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence.” When McCloud gives examples of how comics have impacted history, it really shows that without having those pictures, we may not know what happened, who was involved, or anything about that part of history. Its captivating to know how much comics are used in all parts of history.
