Asterios Polyp is a perfect example of an art form exploiting its medium. It's visual metaphors and clever framing brings the art of storytelling through illustrations to its maximum potential. The contrast between the geometric and organic shapes representing the two main character represents the difference in personalities and how they compliment eachother. The color scheme and abstract drawings symbolize feelings and behaviors of people. This trickery is best achieved through comic strips or visual novels rather than live action. The intricate representations in the drawings went hand in hand with the dialogue which transmitted its messages with much clarity and at the same time entertaining.
