The author writes:
"So, let's see: each panel of a comic shows a single moment in time. And between these frozen moments - between the panels - our minds fill in the intervening moments, creating the illusion of time and motion." - Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics (1993).
He then goes on to write about how this is an overly simplistic interpretation and it misses a lot of the details encapsulated by his notion of closure but whatever, I'm not going to listen to some dude who wasn't even drawn with eyes.
