I like this quote because I think it is interseting.I never really thought much about what McCloud is saying how you can't avoid seeing a face.Whenever I would see a circle,two dots,and a line,I would see a face.I wouldn't try to see anything else,I wouldn't think about trying to see anything else,I would just see the face.It never occured to me that my mind was taking the things and making it a face.It's interesting that the mind works in weird ways,by making you see pictures out of just lines or shapes.I think McCloud is smart and what he thinks is fascinating.The mind is a very complex thing,it's always working to show you differnt things.
