Abstract
As people record their entire lives to disk, they need ways of summarizing and
making sense of all of this data. Comics (and visual language) are a largely untapped
medium for summarization, as they are already subtractive and abstract by nature (the
brain fills in the blanks and the details), and they provide a way to present a series of
everyday events as a memorable narrative that is easily skimmed. This research builds
upon the research of Microsoft, FX Palo Alto Labs, ATR Labs, and others to further
ground the procedural generation in the comics theory of Scott McCloud, et al.
