Scott McCloud’s incomparable “Understanding Comics”.

I swear you can open this book to any page and it’s amazing.

The first five images are a photoset of a white and black comic. A person stands next to “the treachery of images” by René Magritte in all 10 panels. The painting consists of a pipe on a blank background and underneath it the french phrase “Ceci n'est pas une pipe”, meaning, “This is not a pipe”. The person speaks in most of them. The dialogue is as follows:

Panel 1: Here’s a painting by Magritte called “the treachery of images”.

Panel 2: The inscription is in french. Translated, it means “this is not a pipe”.

Panel 3: And indeed this is not a pipe. This is a painting of a pipe.

Panel 4: Right?

Panel 5: Well, actually, that’s wrong. This is not a painting of a pipe, this is a painting of a drawing of a pipe. N'est-ce pas?

Panel 6: Nope, wrong again. This is a printed copy of a drawing of a painting of a pipe.

Panel 7: Ten copies, actually. Six, if you fold the pages back.

Panel 8 is a beat panel with no dialogue.

Panel 9: Do you hear what I’m saying?

Panel 10: If you do, have your ears checked, because no one said a word.

The sixth image is a modified version of “the treachery of images”, where the text is edited to now instead read the phrase “bitch I might be”.

The idea that autistic people are child-minded is harmful to all autistics, but especially harmful to queer autistics.
