Category talk:Comics with inverted brightness
What qualifies?[edit]
At the most arbitrary, I'd suggest that, just maybe, panes with inverted brightness fulfil the category requirements, or perhaps a bit of white text because it happens to be written on a more shaded bit of background, but I'm unsure that the lavatory signs strictly invoke inverted brightness (if real signs exist that are light-on-dark, which at least some of them are, this makes it an uninverted depiction of one of them), and I'm unhappy with your (presumed) linking of this category for a tree silhouette (it shows the perfectly cromulant situation of bright sky behind a relatively dark tree, again not inverted, merely drawn for contrast).
An interesting example is something like 811: Starlight. The stars (white spots on floodfilled black background) really shouldn't be considered inverted (black stars on white sky would be inverted; it's only that the category specifically mentions night and space scenes makes it valid from that perspective), but the text and stickfigures/etc are definitely inverted (all due to the background they're on).
It's just my opinion, but I don't think that any patch of black-floodfill (especially in just a fraction of a pane or two, within an otherwise normal multi-pane comic) around a white detail is automatically ripe for marking as inverted. I'll reluctantly accept "night sky" or "space" (but only with stars... no "entirely featureless black, through a window/porthole") as cause for being classed as Inverted, due to the category explanation. But feel that the true "inversion" is where there is pane inversion which results in white text and/or (character) stickfigures upon black background as a definite contrast to 'normality'. Before you go too far with HotCatting some things that I'd feel compelled to revert (as I'm very tempted with the tree silhouette, and almost certain I should with the Gents-signs, for example...). 141.101.98.119 19:12, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Rename[edit]
Could I highly recommend this (with the above) be renamed to "Category:Comics that depict space" (or "...night sky", or something that works better for both), to discerne from a separate category that is for other white-lines-on-filled-black-frames, or possibly significant reverse-video insert features. Some comics may be both, a number are just one sub-variety and could be dealt with separately, with enough of each to justify a large enough (but managable) category membership. --signed, a passing IP editor, 13:10ish 14/Jan/2025 (UTC)
