A form of graphic art that attempts to extend its meaning and impact by using various traditions. Examples include montages intended to represent events in time; the placement of images and words together to convey the idea that the images are speaking or thinking; the use of a simplified and exaggerated "cartoonish" art style; and narratives in traditionally comics-oriented genres, particularly the "gag" strip and the superhero genre. Scott McCloud's famous and much-disputed definition of comics from Understanding Comics: "Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer." McCloud himself has suggested that this definition may cease to be relevant in the world of digital comics.
