Albert Einstein, Conceptual Comics Artist

Check it out: the greatest thinker of the Twentieth Century did his thinking... in comics! Food for thought.

'What, precisely, is "thinking"? When, at the reception 
of sense-impressions, memory-pictures emerge, this is 
not yet "thinking." And when such pictures form series, 
each member of which calls forth another, this, too, is 
not yet "thinking." When, however, a certain picture 
turns up in many such series, then — precisely through 
such return — it becomes an ordering element for such 
series, in that it connects series which in themselves are 
unconnected. Such an element becomes an instrument, 
a concept- I think that the transition from free associa- 
tion or "dreaming" to thinking is characterized by the 
more or less dominating role which the "concept" plays 
in it. It is by no means necessary that a concept must 
be connected with a sensorily cognizable and reproducible 
sign (word); but when this is the case thinking becomes 
by means of that fact communicable.’
