Carlos,



I think Bob is off for the weekend, so I will give it a shot. "Comic book",

in the sense that Bob is using it, is an annotated series of pictures,

usually to show how to do something.

Carlos,



This is a term Bob uses for his How-To articles, which are basically

pictures with text added as required for explanation.  He'll have to

explain why he chose that particular term, but it probably dates back to

pre-digital picture days when the 'pictures' were hand sketches and the

text was hand written - and that is similar to the format of comic books

we (who have more than a few grey hairs) grew up with as kids.

Carlos, think of the "Asterisk and Obelisk" comic book series in France.

    Comic books is a generic term that describes highly

    illustrated story books with captions on each illustration.

    Where I work, a "comic book" is a series of illustrations

    with captions, usually step by step  instructions . . . and

    little (if any) formatted text.



    For example:



http://aeroelectric.com/articles/shldwire/shldwire.html



    is a "comic book" in the purest sense. This piece

    could stand alone with its captioned illustrations

    but I elected to add supporting text . . .



http://aeroelectric.com/articles/multiplewires/multiplewires.html



    and of course, this piece at . . .



http://aeroelectric.com/articles/multiplewires/multiplewires.html



    is simply an article with the occasional supporting

    illustration.



    The "comic book" is a powerful teaching tool for guiding

    the reader through a series of orchestrated

    steps leading to some goal in fabrication or understanding.

        Bob . . .
