COMICS
----> a sequence of drawings in boxes that tells amusing (?) story
Wikipedia says 'Comics is a medium used to express ideas through images, often combined with text or other visual information. Frequently, comics takes the form of juxtaposed sequences of panels of images. Often textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. The size and arrangement of panels contribute to narrative pacing. Cartooning and similar forms of illustration are the most common image-making means in comics; fumetti is a form which uses photographic images. Common forms include comic strips, editorial and gag cartoons, and comic books. Since the late 20th century, bound volumes such as graphic novels, comic albums, and tankōbon have become increasingly common, while online webcomics have proliferated in the 21st century with the advent of the internet.'
The 8-step guide to creating and publishing your own comic book:
1. Start with an idea. You need an idea before you start out.
2. Write a script. Get your idea down on paper and flesh it out.
3. Plan the layout. Organise the layout before you start drawing the actual comic.
4. Draw the comic.
5. Time for inking and colouring.
6. Lettering.
7. Selling and marketing.
8. Wrap Up.

Where abstraction and comics collide
----> Oskar Fischinger
Imagine a series of white and pale green lozenges, irregularly distributed across a larger rhomboid shape composed of rectangles divided into red and deep green, at each of whose tip hovers a scattering of white diamonds. All this sits atop a purple square placed askew on a black rectangle. Blue circles emanate from the centre of the image. Imagine, then, how a fraction of a second later these lozenges, rectangles and circles spin away, shape-shifting into triangles and spirals, curves and lines, mutating their colours and forming new combinations. This geometrical drama happens again and again, lyrically pegged to the booms and trills of music. This is animated Kandinsky, or rather a scene from Oskar Fischinger’s animated 1936 film Allegretto.
'Even the animated film today is on a very low artistic level. It is a mass product of factory proportions, and this, of course, cuts down the creative purity of the work of art. No sensible creative artist could create a sensible work of art if a staff of co-workers of all kinds each has his or her say in the final creation - producer, story director, story writer,music director, conductor, composer, sound men, gag men, effect men, layout men, background directors, animators, inbetweeners, inkers, cameramen, technicians, publicity directors, managers, box office managers and many others. They change the ideas, kill the ideas before they are born.'

John Porcellino
John Porcellino was born in Chicago in 1968, and has been writing, drawing, and publishing minicomics, comics, and graphic novels for over twenty-five years.

Mr. Ware, an occasional contributor to This American Life and a more regular contributor to The New Yorker, was the cartoonist chosen to inaugurate The New York Times Magazine’s “Funny Pages” section in late 2005. He is currently still at work on the graphic novel Rusty Brown, though his lengthy and expensive graphic novel Building Stories was published in 2012 and was named one of the Top Ten Fiction Books of the Year by The New York Times and Time.
