View source for Silent comics

{{Short description|Comic with no speech or text}}
'''Silent comics''' (or '''pantomime comics''') are [[comics]] which are delivered in [[mime]]. They make use of little or no [[dialogue]], [[speech balloon]]s or [[Glossary of comics terminology#Caption|caption]]s written underneath the images. Instead, the stories or gags are told entirely through pictures.

==Definition==
Silent comics have the advantage of being easily understandable to people - like children - who are slow readers. The genre is also universally popular since [[translation]] is not required, lacking the usual [[language barrier]]s. [[Sergio Aragonés]], a famous artist in the field, once said in a 1991 interview with [[Comics Journal]]: "What happens is like a supersimplification. Something you can say with words, you have to eliminate all the words until it can be told in a little story without words. You just think a little longer. But it becomes rewarding in the end because everybody can understand your cartoons no matter what your nationality. And that, to me, has been always a big thing—to do cartoons that everybody can understand, every age, every nationality. It is different. It's like in the theater. You have regular theater, and you have pantomime, like [[Marcel Marceau]] or [[Alejandro Jodorowsky]]. And I apply that to cartooning and it works."<ref name="auto9">{{Cite web |title=Sergio Aragones and the Art of Pantomime Cartooning &#124; |url=http://www.tcj.com/sergio-aragones-and-the-art-of-pantomime-cartooning/}}</ref> Silent comics tend to be popular in the [[gag-a-day]] comics genre, where they typically consist of just three or four images per episode. But some [[graphic novel]]s with longer [[narrative]]s also make use of pantomime (see ''[[Wordless novel]]s''). This allows for a more visual experience, where the actual meaning of the events is left to the readers' own interpretation.
