Understanding Comics Chapter 2 – Xaei Li

I was really impressed at how meta the author was making the comic sound. He really twisted my brain a bit with the “Pipe or Pipe to be or Pipe not to be” analogy haha

The author was being very descriptive with everything we were seeing we were seeing. A perfect example for reference is on page 27 when he says; “This is paper, This is INK on paper”. Things we know of but don’t really stop to acknowledge.

“The images we use to represent concepts, ideas, and philosophies.” “Icons of the practical realm.” “And finally, Icons we call pictures: images designed to actually resemble their subjects.” If you were to stop and broke down the things you look around you and think of the pre-determined perception you see ’em with… YOU’D BE AMAZED!
