![]() ![]() McCloud says that realistic depictions of characters such as in superhero comics are actually less relatable than simple characters such as Charlie Brown or Nancy, or most manga. What I have to add is that I had a fun conversation with my class about one insightful claim McCloud makes, that the simpler and more "cartoony" a comic representation is (i.e., a smiley face), the more universal it will be, the more we will say "that's me." In fiction classes I was taught to be as specific and detailed as I could be about characters and places. It's the primary source though there are many good books coming out. ![]() I'll read this and use it to help people understand comics every year. ![]() I finished reading it for my comics/YA Graphic novels class this summer, 6/16/16 and now again, 8/8/17. ![]()
