      unfortunately, these days it's "diversely" and... well I was going to say 'transgressively' but that's actually a good thing, their issue is they wrongly think they are.

      I'd probably say reaction shot close-ups too
      King's point about adverbs in On Writing is that they're a quick, easy, cheap way to describe something without much effort or creativity. So the comic book equivalent would have to be something equally quick/easy/cheap, which I think leads us to reaction shots. Specifically the type of uber decompressed, copy-paste ones that Invincible mocked that one time.

      Overuse of adverbs is seen as shitty writing

      Something Stephen King would know all about

    I'd consider as a likely equivalent the usage of text or dialogue to explain an idea that the visual component of the storytelling could be handling on its own. It's actually very common with "collaborative" approaches like comics and specially cartoons tend to be.

      One of the first zombie symptoms of The Simpsons was starting to hammer in with dialogue gags that could have been 10 times as funny with just the visuals. Frick that.

    Speaking of which, why is cowardly an adjective? It ends with -ly, it should be an adverb.

      It can be either depending on how and where it's used.

      >all words ending in -ly are adverbs
      It’s better to think about it like this: -ly turns words into adjectives (lively, manly, cowardly), and some of those adjectives happen to be adverbs (angrily, briskly, purposefully).

    Adverbs are fine. Stephen King can’t write.

        Just because you and Stephen can’t use them well doesn’t mean they aren’t useful. Hack.

          They can be using fine but typically they're redundant and do little more than double down on what should be obvious through context.

      Stephen King writes human beings like cartoonish parodies and I can't understand why people like his work

        You think people read Stephen King because they want realism?

          Parodies of real people should be the monsters, not the main characters

        You don't buy Stephen King to read, you buy Stephen King to look good on a shelf.

          Stephen King broke into a bookstore and randomly signed a bunch of copies of his own books because he’s a fricking hack and it will never stop being funny.

            Why would you lie, and then link to a source that tells what actually happened.
            Or do you not even realize your lying when you say shit like this

    Decompression. Yes we really need a full page and multiple panels to show someone going where they say they are.

    Reminder that Stephen King was horribly sexually abused as a child. The whole child grape portion of The Library Policeman proves it.
