So, what does this have to do with comics or comic strips?

Well, the instruction manual for the application was written as a Comic Strip by Scott McCloud, author of the great tome Understanding Comics. Scott McCloud has a gift of using pictures and words to provide amazing clarity on complicated subjects. Understanding Comics is a brilliant book in that it uses the medium of comics to explain the art of comics. It’s not only a great read, it’s a great demonstration of design.

The printed version of the book is so coveted that it is being auctioned for charity on eBay.

It’s obvious that comics have come a long way from being just escapism for teenage boys.
