can i say the craziest thing for comic students at my school at least is some of them literally dont understand how to read comics for the language we are writing in and they will forget basic bubble flow. ppl will go i didnt know you were supposed to read left to right up down it's insane. u can present them the easiest most clear cut panel flow ever also and they go i dont know how to read this. i think this might confuse a reader. i will kill us both

#and before u ask these are very much english as first language and usually only language ppl. like it's literally u think they dont know how #to read. they are trying to be the reader u get warned about when considering everything where u go theres no way someone wont understand #what's going on. and then they will. they will misunderstand. u can show it to someone not in comics and they would get it but then ur #classmate in ur mid level comic classes will go Huh? it is astounding. impressive even.#and then they will go make some crazy more difficult to read layout. it's amazing.#but also most of the ppl arent going to the big 2 making the most confusing hard to read layout ever school of comic reading so then again #sometimes i cant hold it against them. they arent witnessing some of the insane difficult terrible layouts of anywhere from the 70s to 90s.#but they will make layouts in the same realm of difficultly. and then look at a grid layout and go i dont knowwww QUIT IT.#static.soundz #also not to say im not guilty of weird bubble and panel flow. very much someone who does this at times. but i understand the basic way to #read... a comic... in its typical format... when a layout is not insane i remember z flow. some of u should remember z flow.
