Blambot has a fantastic breakdown of how type conventions work in comics and graphic novels. Full of things that are news to me, like the use of breath marks. Great as a supplement to the always relevant work of Scott McCloud and Will Eisner.

Comics Grammar & Tradition (via BoingBoing)

Had a small OMG moment when I saw this. Scott McCloud–that fantastic author of Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, Making Comics, and the dear-to-my-heart Zot! series–has created an introductory comic for Google’s Chrome browser. While I’m somewhat concerned that Google felt they needed to explain their browser in a comic, I can’t think of a better storyteller to tackle this subject and give an audience a better grasp of why Google feels now is the right time for a new browser. Cheers, Scott.
