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.
