Comics Grammar and Tradition is an extensive discussion of the various meanings of visual formatting rules in Western comics. There were several I didn't know, including telepathy and coughing. I wonder if they would have changed my understanding of any of the comics I've read. My gut tells me know, but I'm not really in a position to substantiate that.
On another note, I draw your attention to the following obituary: Blossom Dearie, Cult Chanteuse, Dies at 82. After 727 words, I find that I can add several strange things to the list of topics that I don't understand. It really is a peak into a small world of odd verbs, places, and people I've never heard of. It makes me want to read more obscure obituaries.
