Larry Gonick
Overeducated Cartoonist The Cartoon Universe of Larry Gonick: Words, Pictures, and Information October 21, 2005 The comics reader sees images. The comics creator sees a complex process of abstraction. Word and image are both constrained by conventions peculiar to the medium and considerations governing maximum legibility and comprehension--conventions, incidentally, of interest to many other forms of graphic presentation. In non-fiction comics, the process is infinitely hairier, involving as it does the reduction of a body of knowledge to the tight and minimal confines of comics narrative. Almost-doctor Gonick will explain how it works, with pictures. |
