1) "The Vocabulary of Comics" addresses the way in which comics merge visual media and become more accessible for that ability. It seems to assume that both their artistic and verbal simplicity are what makes the comic an appealing medium. What then, are we to do with graphic novels? Can they be considered comics with their wordiness and their tendency towards detailed art?
2) From the details garnered from the readings, what makes pictographic media more appealing to the viewer (ie over just plain text)? What does this say about the way we engage with a medium/piece of information?
3) Berger discusses the immediate nature and permanency of the image; what "ways of seeing" show how this is helpful in convincing the viewer of any variety of ideas? For what reasons has this medium become so ingrained within our society?
