Reading and Writing About Comics ala McCloud Part 2

http://www.davidgaddis.com/piercing.html

I found this comic on David's blog. I have to say I completely agree with him. I would like to see what Scott McCloud would think of this comic. Perhaps too much happens between panels. There are no words, just images. I need words to understand this comic. I'm wondering if the artist is being vague and mysterious on purpose? He also uses a combination of color and black and white. I can't even figure out the color scheme. There are vibrant and muted colors, then grayscale, then more muted colors. I wouldnt say the comic is non-sequiter , though, because there is some sort of a flow in the scenery. I just cant decide if there is a plot that follows.
