This document discusses how comics use panels and the space between them to represent the passage of time. It explains that panels divide both time and space, with the content of each panel defining the specific time duration and spatial dimensions. The interaction between time and comics is achieved through words that introduce sound over time, and through motion that is perceived either between panels or within a single panel using effects like action lines or multiple images.

1. “Time Frames”- Scott McCloud

2. Key Terms Panel Time Motion

3. Panels Act as a general indicator that time or space is being divided The duration of time and the dimensions of space are defined by the content of the panel

4. Time Pictures and the intervals between then create the allusion of time Words introduce time by introducing sound that only exists “in time” Therefore the interaction of time and comics is achieved by Sound (word balloons, sound effects) or Motion (panel to panel, within panels)

5. Motion “ Motion is produced between panels by the mental process called closure Motion can be produced in a single panel by using a motion line (conspicuous action lines, multiple images, photographic streaking effects, subjective motion)
