In a continuing effort to make it up as I go along, I thought it would be most righteous of me to provide you, the eager young minds in Media Arts, with several points I find MOST important in Scott McCloud's TED talk. Feel free to absorb this information, which may mean that you might have to investigate further what Mr. McCloud means by certain topics. As an assistance to your understanding, I have provided the times during the talk where he mentions each concept.
Engage!!
