When defining comics McCloud mentions that one must separate the form from the content.
It has always been hard for me to properly explain the difference between the two aside from stating the obvious so I’m glad McCloud was able to elaborate on that in depth. From what I learned, comics are spatially juxtaposed whilst animation specifically involves the sequential in time. In my head, I got the gist of comics being a type of sequential art but reading about it did give me a better and more detailed perspective on it and how it shouldn’t be mistaken for something like animation. Having more than one continues the story. When there is more than one image, it becomes a sequence, which then continues on compared to only having one solo image.
He can describe it better than I can, but my best way to describe it is if one scene has a person smiling and then the next image is them frowning.
