Scott McCloud Reading

Growing up reading the Sunday comics has lead to my interest in this article.  Especially, recently, a friend of mine has reintroduced me to the world of the weekly comic strip.  I found it particularly interesting that some of information discussed in this article was stuff I had learned previously in a packaging class.  When we learned about human nature in regards to taking in information we learned about the left to right and up to down rule.  I found it really neat that it can be broken.  Granted, I had seen it in practice before, but having it be pointed out exactly what was going on was truly fascinating. 

I also found it interesting that the movement of our eye is what really creates the movement forward in time.  This is a beautiful correlation that really intrigues me.  Again, this is something I have seen before, and knew on a subconscious level, but learning it point-blank was awesome.
