Visual Communities : Comics in Interaction

A growing number of online communities create or share visual imagery. In a few of these communities, visual imagery is used to support interaction. However, studies of online communities have often focused on text exchange. In contrast, this study describes a community centered on web-based comic strips created and shared by its members. These comics provide a unique mechanism for interaction. The discussion analyzes emergent themes and suggests design considerations for facilitating interaction in other visual communities.
