"Chatting with Glue" piece this morning. Still a classic. Wish there were way more visual-spatial essays around the web. I think we get hung up on calling them "comics." Comics are a distinct visual culture people believe requires drawing skills

can we augment our online chats with new affordances?

what does a conversational medium that supports *thinking* look like?

Is there a pathway from the linear, one-dimensional, immutable logs we call "online conversation"? I made a comic! a9.io/glue-comic/

Hey Maggie, as a fan of your comics, I'd love to talk about this sometime. I'm all about this and am trying to design tools that allow for us to communicate in the visual language we see manifest in comics. Comics are the quietly ascendant art form.

Hot take: Drawing is not the core skill of comics making.

I love this hot take. I have a similar one I pull out all the time – 'visual explanation is not about drawing' Two sides of the same coin 😄 Drawing is useful but overrated

Very in 🙌 Just registered! Torn between a few initial course ideas, but something around creating web-native illustrated essays / visual explanations is top of the shortlist. Keen to adapt, adjust and collab ideas around that theme!
