This isn't necessarily the case, William.  There is a lot of
reading that is non-textual.

I _highly_ recommend, to everyone on this list, the book "Understanding
Comics" by Scott McCloud.  It deals with the (U.S.) comic book medium
and has some interesting thoughts and concepts on the "language of
comics" as a blend between graphical and text media.

In fact, I have it on the shelf behind me at work as I type this,
beside my XHTML, XSLT, CSS, usability, and disability references.
