These are great. Not much more to add than that these are awesome. Sometimes I'm surprised we don't teach cartooning as a skill, given how much information it transfers as compared to a powerpoint slide.

I've found that 95% of the words on any given webpage are completely unnecessary, especially when researching or learning software topics. I also found that graphics and code examples are 1b% underrated and useful.

I always say that tech writers are failed novelists.

I think you could probably say that about a reasonably large portion of all writers.

These are fun, but they're pretty dense and hard to read (even for someone with good vision, native high English literacy, and no known major cognitive deficits).

Is there a "plain HTML" version of these somewhere? The diagrams are nice, but I feel like I'm squinting at a chalkboard through a window.

I'm gonna go against the grain here, infographics are great and all that, but these comics are a terrible way to convey information.

The font is almost unreadable, the colors have no semblance of unity or denoting anything, and it's just plain difficult to follow along, even as someone who already groks these topics.

If you haven't already tried you should open the images in their own tab. They're pretty high res (2000x1239 for linux /dev) so you can zoom without loss of readability.
