MMA

Not Mixed Martial Arts.  Mixied Media Attempts! Kevin at Lowering the Bar tells us about a lawyer who wished to submit an amicus brief to a case involving the Department of Justice.  The judge would only allow 5 pages, whereas his brief was 55 pages.  Solution? Write a comic strip!

Using visual media to communicate serious ideas can be productive.  One philosophy professor I know uses Xtranormal in his introductory classes, where the students present a philosophical issue in dialogue form.  To combine the written with the visual--and to do it well--requires serious cogitation.
