Scott McCloud Article

First off, here's a couple videos I found and liked that were stop motion.

I really liked this "reading." I am really bad at reading long text but this format made it really easy to understand. I really liked how the comic format changed as he went over the different methods for putting these comics together. As with all subjects, you really can't fully appreciate something until you delve a little deeper into it. I really didn't understand the amount of skill was required in order to convey a since of time. Its one of those things where you pick up a comic and just take it for what it is instead of thinking further. I also liked the reference to art movements such as the futurists in the progression of comic art.
