Someone pointed this out to me today...
Gene is an amazing cartoonist in his own right (see Saints and Boxers) and an excellent writer collaborating with other artists. He has some interesting insights. His discussion of readers controlling the timing of the story flow in comics is reminiscent of what Eisner gets into in his books about making comics and McCloud echoes that discussion in his. It's a fascinating little bit here by Yang though, and I was intrigued by the use of comics as a lesson on his Algebra classes, way back when when I was interested in curriculum development and still involved in academia and teaching, I was a strong advocate of finding new ways to use comics in the classroom. Yang more eloquently explains why its a good idea than I ever did.
