1. How effectively do you think McCloud crafts the comic-instruction in such a way that he -- pardon the pun -- illustrates the very points that he discusses, thus meta-commenting and reinforcing the lessons his character states? What particular lessons and images work well together? Which illustrations stuck out in your mind as aptly capturing a point? Why do did image, text, lesson work so well together in these particular examples? How, ultimately, does he reconcile LANGUAGE (of comics) and SOPHISTICATION?
I think the meta-commenting of the piece was a very interesting and effective way to present the information. It showed a physical example that also explained itself throughout the comic. I like how it broke it down with the repeat of the same picture 10 times in the beginning then gradually built back up by starting with basic symbols and associations before coming to its main argument. In this way, the images text and lesson all intertwined to help each other and represent each other.
