“The Internet is a medium only at the bit level. At the human level, it is a conversation that, because of the persistence and linkedness of pages, has elements of a world. It could only be a medium if we absolutely didn't care about it.” IfsWorldHumansCareBitsLevelsInternetConversationElementsPagesMediumsPersistence Author:David Weinberger
“The only place where you can really surprise or shock the reader, or make someone laugh, is on the lower righthand corner - the very last panel - so as you turn the page, the payoff is in the upper lefthand panel.

“My feeling is that it's one of the very few things that comics can do that you really can't do in any other medium. I feel like the reader accepts all of these styles, and after a certain point you can flip the pages and see a character rendered very differently than you saw on an earlier page, and it's not jarring. It suggests things that you can't suggest just in the writing or in the plotting.” FeelsWritingCharacterFeelingsCertainCan DoAcceptingSawsStyleReaderPagesMediumsFlip Author:Daniel Clowes
