What Are "REAL BOOKS"?
I think Real books is any book with text in it, with page numbers and pages!?! Haha I don't really know how to explain it...Something that's written on text in a book with pages and page numbers that you read from left to right horizontally and it's either a story (fiction or not), or any type of book about ANYTHING.
As far as visual texts go like comics...I never really got into reading them! I was one of those people that it was hard for me to read McCloud's text (it really gave me a headache!). I don't really like them, because I think it's too many little pictures and little sentences that take up a whole page and keep going! For some people it's more enjoyable to read that, but not for me, I think I prefer reading a book! =)The one comics that do catch my attention are the ones with the picture and it will say a sentence at the bottom of the page of the catch of the joke. To me, those are more entertaining than comic books!

So you like single panel comic strips rather than multipanel strip...
that's understandable... my favorite single panel will always be The Far Side.
I agree that reading McCloud's book for the first time can be quite overwhelming. I've read it a few times now, and still feel a little dizzy on occasion. The other graphic novels won't be quite so "busy" :) Looking forward to reading more of your ideas and interpretations Natacha!
