Comments on "Scott McCloud: Understanding comics"

Homosexual ...
Homosexual activists understand the power of words. Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist? author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'". The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed. The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

This is a great vid. i saw it first? on TED's site.

Actually, then, by ...
Actually, then, by Scott McCloud's logic, film is a version of the comic. You have consecutive frames of still images, that, when seen together sequentially, tell a linear story. Now, both media, as they stand today, have limitations as to all that they can tell the viewer, but if both comics and film follow the path that McCloud has depicted here, I believe that they may eventually merge, meld, combine, into a fully realized experience that? utilizes all of the human senses.

Alan Moore? played ...
Alan Moore? played a lot with panel layouts, especially in Watchmen. It may be true that comic makers are stuck to a certain size of the page and pivotal moments really only happen at the turn of a page(for surprise), I don't know if it's a limitation immediately. It is interesting to follow these computer-comics though. An interesting one I read was "A lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible".

"Scott McLEOD is my uncle". yeah,? but what does that have to do with scott McCloud?

nice vid?

Based on my reading ...
Based on my reading of McCleod I don't think that he is trashing the? paper page, but encouraging the debate. because when artists contemplate debates like these, they create art to give their answer. And that is where great art in any media comes from- from people looking for answers and grappling with problems.

No, that would be? ...
No, that would be? virtual reality.

I only just ...
I only just recently read Understanding Comics, and while I've never picked up any of McCloud's fiction works like Zot! but it's evident that he truly understands the language of the? medium. He seems like a friendly individual here.
