A couple of days ago, I encountered - on youtube - someone had made a video where they were reading out the speech bubbles and text from a comic/graphic novel that I remembered from back in the eighties.. no animation, no highlighting which speech bubble (karaoke style), just shots of the cartoon page, advancing as they went. At least the "creator" didnt include their own head in the frame.
I suppose it may be useful for illiterates and non-english readers, but how did they get that far to start with? And how can you understand a comic style layout without knowing which panel is related to the words being spoken (which is why karaoke highlighting would help).
Also, apart from mentioning the cartoon/graphic novel name, they completely failed to credit the original writer/artist.
A youtube of a comic being read aloud, how far the internet has fallen....
