Chapter Four: Time Frames

So when I was reading this chapter and got to the section about the idea that the reader can choose what direction the comic strip can go (pg 105), I automatically thought of those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books I read while growing up. Did anyone else read these books and was reminded of them?

You can almost compare the panels that make up comics to a photograph. A single moment in time, that holds much more meaning than there appears to be. Like in comics, for instance, you can picture a specific event that is happening. The amount of time that passes by within one single frame can vary how ever the illustrator/author chooses. There are no restrictions or time limits, you can easily imagine what is happening. On the other hand, in film pictures you can see more feeling and peer deeper into the subject's emotions and the purpose of the situation. It's harder to capture the depth in someone's eyes by drawing it out. You can tell so much more by looking into someone's eyes. It's an infinite timeline, unlike the set time planned out while writing a comic. But you can get any answer through just time. "Time will Tell..," right?
