One of the really riveting ideas in Reinventing Comics is that comic readers will be able to choose their narrative paths in a digital medium. The one difference between that and traditional multimedia is that when you choose a path in a traditional multimedia setting, the other path ceases to exist. In comics, that path still exists. I want you to see that path, to see it recede. I want to map those choices, to give the reader a bird's-eye view of the landscapes of possibilities.
Comics is the only medium that does that.
The idea of using computers to create entirely new narrative structures is very exciting, but there's a high potential for it being very confusing, too. But in the meantime, it's important to take out our hammer and saw and start to take apart and put back together the medium in order to discover if there are better ways to construct our dreams. In Reinventing Comics, you write about your children's use of the computer. I try to carry that attitude over to my desktop. You're really big on playing.
