Scott McCloud response

I loved reading this article/comic because it conveyed its concept through what was being discussed as well as the layout and how the information was being presented. I thought it was interesting how time and space as well as time and sound related, I would never really have thought of the relationship of sound to time in a comic but as I continued to read the explanation it made so much sense in how I understood the time frames of a comic or any storyline for that matter. Additionally, the way in which we come to understand time as being expressed through multiple frames is really interesting in my opinion; the fact that the size, shape or lack of a frame has such a grand effect on the way in which we perceive an image or story or span of time is really neat and that a single image can have a lingering timeless presence in the mind of the viewer (sorry for the run on sentence). Lastly, I think my favorite part of this reading was how they explained comics almost as defying set notions of past and present by alluding to a past, present and future through the storyline created within the panels but the point at which the reader chooses to begin determines their subjective present.
