Top- down : With comics, there are many tools used to show the emotion of the characters. The small lines outside of Calvin's head show that he isn't just yawning, but exclaiming something. The fact that the words aren't in a word bubble show me that he is exclaiming something and the emotion isn't able to be contained. These are visual clues as to the meaning of the picture.
Bottom- up : With comics, especially Calvin and Hobbes, I tend to look at the picture before reading the text. Calvin's balled up fists, his eyes being squeezed shut, and his mouth wide upen are details that I notice before reading the text (concluding the observation).
