I've read comic's ever since I was a little girl. I was always interested in the ideas of superhero's and extreme battles that no human could ever do without snapping their backs in half. Even now I love reading comics, though now I mostly read manga and plenty of webcomics (one for example is the one shown above). The comic above in using the terms I learned, the images are definitely more iconic than realistic. The faces are simplified to show a more cartoonish. I would think it would have been difficult to have drawn realistic images of Doctor Cat, and the minor human characters and the humor involved with a cat who is a doctor. The simplified cat also becomes a cute icon, which I doubt would be as cute if the cat looked realistic. I believe that what the artist used in transitions, was mainly action-to-action and subject-to-subject. In this strip the text and the words work together to show Doctor Cat's problem and insecurities of being a cat who is a doctor and is unable to use hands to do a surgery, however it also shows his resolve to prove those in his past wrong. The text is also simplified almost in an iconic way so it doesn't seem too show-offy. The text also tells the story of this page.
