Thanks for the comment. <BR/><BR/>I think in the case of comics we're "writing in both visual and written languages bimodally" or "writing multimodally." It's <I>almost</I> similar to the issue of what we do when we're both gesturing and speaking, except anything with speech being dominant usually just gets sucked up into "speech plus other stuff" (for better or worse).<BR/><BR/>It might be good

Here's my thoughts:<BR/><BR/>We speak in English.<BR/>We draw in pictures.<BR/><BR/>To say that "we write/draw in visual language", seems to answer the question of what we do when we create seqential images, but it still doesn't answer the question of what we do when we make comics. By your own definition, comics are not purely composed of VL, but rather a combination of a visual AND written
