After watching McCloud's video about comics, I now have a better
understanding of comics as well as modern and past artwork. McCloud talks
about how comics were not only used for entertainment, but they are also used
as a form of relaying important symbols and messages. He also discusses what
kinds of comics and drawings catch our eye and what makes them important. This
video relates to McCloud’s article “Vocabulary of Comics” because they both
discuss the importance of using comics or images to relay information. In the
article, McCloud talks about how what we directly see, is not always as it is.
We need to read into images and figure out their real meaning. Sometimes simple
artwork and comics have a deeper meaning and a more powerful message, we just
have to look at the image with an open mind.
