Understanding comics / HENI ABID

Mccloud here trying to explain that comics’s creators all over the world, every creator has his own taste, images, and ideas, and also has a rule, they have to send a clear message to the audience or the messenger.

Mccloud receives a question from a Bunny guy who was asking what’s the difference between Cartoons and Comics. If I were Mccloud, I can say that a cartoon is a single panel image used to convey an idea, however, a comic is a story told using sequential panel images.

Most people love cartoons more than comics. Cartoons can tell you how exactly the characters are feeling and its facial expressions help revealing it, and some people prefers cartoons more than comics because they don’t want to read to have fun and lugh, they just want to watch the visuals , it is more easy for them.
