Key Points

  • Cognitive dissonance arises when text and image in comics create conflicting messages.
  • Comics allow readers to engage with non-linear sequences, mirroring environmental complexities.
  • Strategic gaps in comics parallel the need to bridge knowledge and action on environmental crises.
