Ok, so these chapters were about the power of pictures to evoke an emotional response (vital to noat just comics but all visual-based art) in viewers and the power of words and pictures combined.
After reading chapter 5, I realized how abstract pictures can be unless we assign meaning to them. After reading chapter 6, I realized how words can be used to assign pictures meaning, and how, combined, words and pictures are not just crass products of commercialism but a high medium of art.
