Abstract
Critical light is shed on Emotional World Tour: diarios itinerantes (Miguel Gallardo and Paco Roca, 2009), a multilayered meta-text about the creation of and subsequent promotional tour for two award-winning comics from 2007, Arrugas and María y yo. Though numerous scholarly studies have attended to these narratives of disability (Alzheimer’s and autism), I argue that Gallardo and Roca were among the first to reflect on their own comics critically, an exercise carried out from within the realm of comics creation. In the context of recent theorizations of scholarly composing with comics and an intensification of self-reflexivity within the Affective Turn, I read Gallardo and Roca’s play on the early ‘voyages and travels’ genre as a means of harnessing its powers of scientific and intellectual enquiry to comment on image/ text representations of cognitive disability, and of theorizing from early on about the changing landscape of comics in twenty-first-century Spain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
