A thought about the psychology of comics appreciation.

I'm suddenly curious whether comics-appreciation is even somewhat correlated with aphantasia.

(Thinking of someone from many years ago who said that they didn't like comics because they got in the way of their own imagination.)

Maybe there are different kinds of aphantasy. One is an inability to imagine something unimaginable, another is an inability to imagine something that could be imagined if one gets into a habit of manipulating topology, geometry, Hilbert spaces, etc. - it may just take time.
