Week 2 Sky is falling

1. What does Baetons (2001) mean by "monstration","graphication" and the "graphiateur"?

Baetons defines "monstration" as simply the factor of the story which states the obvious. This usually has to do with the actions and the graphical sequence of comics. Which is what "graphiation" and "graphiateur"does. Graphiation is the visual environment or theme of the story and the Graphiateur is the perpetrator. Almost all Comics have this since there is little for dialogue. For this reason which makes Comics enjoyable to read. A book has a unique sense of progression where as Comics have a consistent style without making the reader jump or skip into the next chapter or scene.

2. What does khordic think the Asterix series does better than Herge's Tintin?

There are  few issues between Asterix and Tintin which make one better than the other. As stated by Khordic, Asterix had the better advantage in noise techniques than Tintin. Khordic looked at Herge's use of speech balloons which occupied a percantage of the frame which makes Tintin dependent on dialogue. Asterix on the other hand had good use of visual sounds and mix of speech balloons.
