Check it out: the greatest thinker of the Twentieth Century did his thinking... in comics! Food for thought.
'What, precisely, is "thinking"? When, at the reception
of sense-impressions, memory-pictures emerge, this is
not yet "thinking." And when such pictures form series,
each member of which calls forth another, this, too, is
not yet "thinking." When, however, a certain picture
turns up in many such series, then — precisely through
such return — it becomes an ordering element for such
series, in that it connects series which in themselves are
unconnected. Such an element becomes an instrument,
a concept- I think that the transition from free associa-
tion or "dreaming" to thinking is characterized by the
more or less dominating role which the "concept" plays
in it. It is by no means necessary that a concept must
be connected with a sensorily cognizable and reproducible
sign (word); but when this is the case thinking becomes
by means of that fact communicable.’
