McCloud's vocab

i thought it was interesting how McCloud disscusses how our eyes view comics and how our mind cant avoid seeing certain things, such as his example with the happy face. Not only is it how we see things, but by the things we see people can then "become the character". This allows me to see the big difference between simply reading a book and reading something like a graphic novel. The graphic novel allows you see simple visual affect and still get a story. With the pictures you place your self in the story easier.
