In yesterday’s class on image-text relations shared Ibn Al-Rabin's masterpiece “Le Verbe Prophétique” alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld to demonstrate how you can do seemingly simple yet bewilderingly complex things that can only be done in comics -because comics are cool!
ALT A six panel comic of a man and a woman where their word balloons are actually other panels (there are no words) indicating future actions and explaining why they did what they did.
ALT a three panel comic about Søren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"
Excellent news! 🎉
