Disadvantage of blog format: fewer visual options

It is harder to manipulate font and headlines in the text of blogs to bring about the same emotion as from say paintings or drawings. For instance, in the graphic novel, Chanie's current life is painted in sepia tones to convey how dreary, and bleak everything is for Chanie. In contrast, the flashbacks to his family and home are bright and colourful. The blog author could try a similar approach based on font type and colour, but it will be harder to convey the same imagery as in the graphical novel.
