When we look at other things, we can see the detail of that thing. This idea stems from how the mind processes images compared to how the mind imagines the self. “This idea is really a question of immersion: abstract images allow the reader to more easily enter into the story. He explained that people can better relate to abstract images than more realistic images, an idea he first encountered in Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics.
In the PhD Comics interview, Keegan mentioned that the "more abstract a comic, the more they can relate to it." I found this statement interesting because, as many comic fans know, there is a range of visual styles that artists use to tell a story, and I asked him about what this means. Keegan is not only interested in what mental processes take place, but also what the information conveyed says about a people and a culture.
As you read the words on a page in a book, your mind creates an image as your eyes scan across the page. Keegan's work focuses on how stories are told within comic books, or its narrative.
