“I guess the basic difference is that animation is sequential in time but in spatially juxtaposed as comics are.

Each successive frame of a movie is projected on exactly the same space--the screen--while each frame of comics must occupy a different space.

Space does for comics what time does for film!”
― Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art

“If you do it once, it’s a mistake. If you do it twice, it’s not a mistake anymore.”
― Kim Harrison, A Fistful of Charms

“Through traditional realism, the comics artist can portray the world without--

--and through the cartoon, the world within.”
― Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art
