a page from watchmen, 9 panel grid. Characters are talking about a case, one character keeps telling the other one the phone is ringing. There is no sound effects to tell this - only a blinking red light on the phone visible in one panel. By fifth panel it finally registers and he answers, then that conversation- someone calling to tell him Rorschach will be at a certain place. They head out to arrest him, and one says "let's go ignore some red lights"
teaching watchmen & discussed how they eliminated all the comic book-y things: SFX, motion lines, emanata, thought balloons, narrative captions. Noticed on this read: this phone sequence, it's ringing - we can't tell (except red light). Does character's failure to hear commentary on the lack of SFX?
