Scott McCloud (1993) in his book Understanding Comics is a comic explaining that successive visual arts within the adjacent, contiguous.

According Cloud comics utilize the space in the media to put a picture image after image so as to form a whole storyline. not only a comic story "fiction" or "fairy tale for children to sleep" but comics as a medium of communication can also be applied as a visual educational tool, a tool of business promotion, outreach tools, tool campaigns, media propaganda, and opinion formers in the press .

"Toruko kangaeta de watashi mo" which gives insight daily life in Turkey and Turkish food (Takeshi Ishizawa, 2003).
