Comic, as a mass medium,
has generated some signs, codes, which have been accepted everywhere,
and for this reason we now know that:
- Cinetic
lines represent movement and direction of objects.
- Animal
symbols, lightning, stars, etc. within a balloon usually mean insults.
- A
drunken person has little "planets" going round and round
his head.
- Lightning
comes out of the head of angry people.
- Something
similar to cinetic lines, but in a radial position, mean surprise, shock.

EXAMPLE
1:
Observe the blue arrows.
They are pointing at different visual streotypes: the impact of the shot,
the cinetic lines, the star-shaped image, and the shot to the goal
|

|
EXAMPLE
2:
Look at the blue arrows
again: the question maark to express hesitation or surprise, the change
of colour of the balloon, or finally the character, tranformed by that
shock: the red colour on its face, the cinetic lines around, and the sweat
drops coming out of his face.
