Chapter 4 returns to questions of media first posed in the introduction. Specifically, it considers how the creators of comics and graphic novels in which nonhuman animals are focal participants use the verbal-visual affordances of the medium to project nonhuman worlds. The chapter highlights two key issues in this connection. The first issue concerns the ways in which animal comics at once bear the impress of and also comment reflexively on animal geographies, or cultural understandings of where animals belong relative to the places associated with human institutions, practices, and activities. The second issue, on which chapters 6 and 7 provide additional perspectives, concerns the techniques used in graphic narratives to evoke animal experiences. At stake here is the extent to which, and the specific ways in which, narrative constitutes a transmedial resource for engaging with forms of nonhuman subjectivity
