Comics: Reading Between the Panels

A fascinating look at how comics engage our brains and the storytelling tendencies by using their particular mix of static and dynamic media. Comics, in a sense, are a combination of reading and fluid motion.

And the more simple the art is, the more that people can project themselves onto the characters (part of the reason that comics like XKCD, PhD Comics, and even Peanuts are so popular).

Great stuff from Alex Lockwood for Ph.Detours.
