Features: Does comic art really need or basically not need textual explanation? I have always adhered to this traditional feeling, always thinking that once text is needed to assist, it proves the image level is not high. However, some friends who happen to know that the philosopher Zhao Tingyang and the comic artist Zhao Tingyang are the same person have suggested multiple times that I add philosophical text to the "selected" comics to enhance understanding and joy. Although text may not necessarily improve understanding, if it can increase joy as a result, that would be good. Joy is more important than understanding.
