comic within a comic
This article made some really interesting points about comic strips such as how several different moments or events can occur within a single picture especially with his comic within a comic approach yet at the same time comics lack transitions between frames and are missing huge chunks of information explaining how characters get from point a to point b or how much time has elapsed but for some reason we subconsciously fill that gap. However, what seems like a complicated process of jumping from frame to frame actually isn't that difficult to understand because its based on real life experiences such as long pauses. Also, the importance of the frame was fascinating, how a single square can define time and space as well as separate the future from the past because all three (past, present, and future) are visible at the same time, which doesn't occur in other mediums such as film. Lastly, I thought the idea of separating motion from sensation was interesting for a lack of better word. How the simple movement lines were based off of futurist and dadaist artists. I never knew how much thought went into creating a comic, the space between and size of the frames, layout, types of word bubbles, etc. This makes storyboarding seem a lot cooler than it actually is.
