The book in question is UNDERSTANDING COMICS (The invisible art) by SCOTT McCLOUD.
It's a book on comics. Like Doonesbury, Peanuts, or Family Circle, not people that tell jokes.
And it's a tour-de-force analysis of comics. How they're made, how the mind processes the language of comics, and even what happens between the frames of a comic.
It's an attempt to discover the universal process that allows the human mind to see a human face in a simple 2 dots and 1 line icon. 😑
And it makes you realize (hopefully) that you are saying things with your magic that you don't know about.
Which makes you think (hopefully) about those unspoken things and how to make them work to make your magic stronger, more impactful, and entertaining.
And even if this book doesn't inspire you as it does me, it certainly is an educational and fun read.
