Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the narratological concept of “eventfulness” as applied to pictorial narratives. As such, it raises questions about whether, and to what extent, verbal narratives can be taken as the ultimate narrative medium, and whether pictorial narratives avail themselves of other strategies we might call narrative, and about which we do not know enough as yet.
