Benefits of graphic play dialogues

"Graphic play at its best is like being somewhere else--living within the bounds of a sheet of paper, in the world created there, to master or be mastered, good guy or bad, in real (if symbolic) events. Because these dialogues are free, playful, stimulating, and fun (for children and adults alike) they may be the very best way to expand the child's narrative abilities, drawing skills, and inclination toward invention and fantasy."
