People Reading "Sonic Medicine"
As an experiment in visualizing the reading of comics, I asked several people to read "Sonic Medicine" (Kolbo, 2013b) and annotate a copy in order to show how they actually read it. Their results are below. You'll see some trends in the readings but also a lot of divergence. No one reads left to right, top to bottom.
