What's the difference between comics and picture books?

>>93454889
No, go to /lit/.

>>93454889
So are you gonna storytime or what?

>are (X) /co/?
God I fucking hate this phrase. I mean, it's so stupid because you idiots will use it for fucking anything.

"Hey guys, are fruit cups /co/?"
"Hey guys, is the Dominican Republic /co/?"
"Hey guys, is my anus /co/?"

>>93455218
to be fair, if an artist were to use an image of their own anus as a reference for a comic, it WOULD be /co/

Yes.
Anyone remember the cartoon?

I think some picture books pretty much count as comics. I mean it's the same basic concept.

The cartoon adaptation is /co/. The original book is /lit/.

Picture books still have a degree of separation between word and image; they're not quite as seamlessly integrated as with a comic strip. For example, if someone is speaking, the picture book would have the dialogue separate to and outside of the image, while a comic strip would use a speech balloon within the artwork to directly indicate the speaker.

If you want to go full Scott McCloud, picture books are probably comics, since they're still sequential images, just with no paneling.

Oh man.
I thought maybe I imagined the cartoon or something.

Also the seahorse looks so weird because it's just a seahorse with a girls human head.

>>93455814
You're right, she does looks weird.
Still, would you let her lay her eggs into your abdomen?

>>93454889
Isn't this book racist or something?

>>93456025
I've heard it referred to as ableist or something.

Not sure if picture books are board relevant, but as an aside, it kind of ticks me off when an artist uses a clear set of sequential images to tell a story, but when asked if they consider their work comics respond with "nuh-uh! My stuff isn't comics, don't lump me in with comics, this is totally different."

Can't remember if the person or people I'm thinking of include the chick that did pic related or if their work was just similar.

I hate the book's message. You're selfish if you don't want to mutilate yourself and give parts of your body to jealous plebs?

It's still pretty fucked up even if you don't take it that literally.
