I chose to discuss the blog entry Jessica posted. I thought that this was an interesting comic. This was an example of the kind of comic which had the same picture in each panel, yet after reading the text the reader will notice a difference in each panel. She pointed out that the text was particularly important in this comic in order to get the message the comic was trying to convey.

After reading the second part of the book I am now able to notice how important the color is in this comic. The graphics are very colorful which will appeal to a larger audience, compared to if it was just black and white.

McCloud also talks about how technology has really changed the look of comics. This comic that Jessica chose is a perfect example. This comic is not just a simple drawing, however it has a digital effect to it, almost like the most recent childrens movies.

On page 67, McCloud talks about the spacing between comic panels. Although the spacing was not very obvious in this comic there was a small spacing which gave time for closure in between the panels.

This was a simple and easy comic to read and understand.
