McCloud first states, can emotions be visual? I think they can be in several different ways, since certain images describe emotions by an icon, or certain images. I think it really depends on the reader, from their past experiences, and how they relate to certain stories is how they will decipher the story. This is where fine art came to be, from famous artists showing their emotions through their paintings. By looking at a certain painting, people can decipher the emotion pretty clearly by the actual image, shading, detail and lines.

Moreover, comics have a more straightforward style than the famous painters, Van Gogh and Munch.  By just creating certain lines, can appeal to certain emotions, he explains a Peanuts character is more calm and portays introspection. Softer and open lines tend to be more whimsical and peaceful. Where heavy, thick lines with more detail are expressive and show fear or anxiety. Which is true because when a reader is going through a comic, the lines are the most important part of drawing out a certain character, or shading to portay certain emotions. Also, same lines that are drawn for certain objects can be drawn for different emotion or senses too, so they can have a double meaning, where readers will understand. Detail is a main objective to give off emotions and show certain senses in comics.
