As I mentioned earlier, I’ve read a couple of Scott McCloud’s<\/a> books about comics and storytelling — what makes a comic a comic, and how do they manipulate space and time with only paper and ink. So, when my art history textbook talked about how the artists for Trajan’s Column<\/a> divided scenes, marked time, etc. I was primed to think “just like a comic.”<\/p>\n

Since all the suggested essay topics for the course were dull to me — I’ve learned the hard way that the topic has to strike sparks off me or the essay will suck — I got permission to instead explain how comics work and why Trajan’s Column is one, despite its pretending to be a Greek frieze.<\/p>\n
