The Visual Linguist: August 2015
http://www.thevisuallinguist.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
The Visual Linguist Blog. What is Visual Langauge? Wednesday, August 26, 2015. New paper: Action starring narrative and events. Waaaay back in 2008 I first posted. About a phenomenon in comics that I called an "action star", such as the third panel in this sequence:. This panel, it is different than the type of "closure" proposed by McCloud to take place between. The panels. Rather, you need to get to the last panel to figure out what happened in the one prior, not what happens between panels 3 and 4.

The Visual Linguist: Using the theory of narrative grammar
http://www.thevisuallinguist.com/2014/10/using-theory-of-narrative-grammar.html
The Visual Linguist Blog. What is Visual Langauge? Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Using the theory of narrative grammar. As people have now started reading my book. They've naturally started to try to apply my theories of "narrative grammar" to sequential images found in comics. My "narrative grammar" is a model of how the "storytelling" of sequential images is understood, which extends beyond previous approaches like Scott McCloud's theory of panel-to-panel transitions. Does this mean the theory is wrong?
