Tip #88: Food for thought

The idea of closure is this: when you've got one {comic} panel where Superman is winding up to hit Lex Luther, and in the next Luther is flying across the room, your mind supplies the middle panel where Luther's getting punched. You may almost see that punch and not even be aware that you, the reader, are providing the closure.
