9/5

Something that McCloud talked about in "Understanding Comics" that stood out to me as intriguing was when he was explaining how our brains look at something and only remember a simplified version of that thing and fills in the informational gap with what is familiar to us. I had never thought before about why cartoony drawings of things are more appealing to us than the familiarity of a realistically rendered thing, but it's pretty cool to think that it's because I've never had to think about why things are drawn the way they are before.
