Teaching with Comics

Probably by now you’ve heard that Google has come out with its own browser, Chrome. I’m a little bummed that there isn’t a Mac version yet but I can wait. What really intrigues me is that Google had artist Scott McCloud write a web comic to introduce it. How interesting that Google chose to use a sequential art piece to teach the public about their new browser! Apparently someone there understands how powerful comics are as teaching tools.

Or… maybe it’s just geeks reaching out to other geeks. I’d rather think that it’s geeks looking for the most effective way to get their concepts across to a broad audience.
