To continue using a computer, I personally seem to need to absolutely distinguish between applications (like GIMP itself), scripts (which "act out" functionality), and GUI (the Graphical User Interface, the "visual mousing experience" that our owners' Apple and Microsoft together enshrined as "windows"). So, it may be masochistic, but I rather enjoy "alien interfaces".
So... looking at the fourth panel of the second(?) page, and suddenly asking myself (yet again) how cool would it be, if someone (other than me) were to narratize published comics, being sure to comment along the way about incidental and minor visual features as if part of the narrative rather than the scripted and visualized story?
It's been done, I'm sure. Or maybe not... quite doable (meaning "within my own range hence fantastically easy for a huge number of people") and yet I've never seen anything more than slightly resembling it. Post an example in a bit, possibly--around ancient Mary Worth and Dilbert, if I can find them. I've only ever "done it" in relation to four panel strips, though. (Odd, that copyediting has never been an option for me: don't quite know why--or at least I'm not saying in a public comment.)
