I just started work on my next essay and it’s clear to me at this point that it’s visually going to be inspired by comics. So I asked Lucy for advice about where to get started learning about layouts, formatting, etc. because I remember reading Scott McCloud’s books about a decade ago but now I wanted to learn about the grammar of comics in more detail: where to put things, how to sequence a story, and how to shape graphics in a new and unfamiliar way.
