...very noticeable difference between the two books is the vastly increased level of visual sophistication in kid's comics. Where "Little Lulu," and most every kid's comic of the time, maintains a strict grid structure for a layout, and simplified, "cute" characters, the Nick Mag comics explode with a variety of visual styles. Craig Thompson's "Juanita and Clem" strip takes the reader's eye on a roundabout, tour of the entire page as Clem, a frog-like creature in a purple suit, searches for water to pour over Juanita's flowers.

But in a 1999 study of 508 boys and girls, Virginia Tech researcher Harriet Hanlon found that some areas mature faster in boys. Specifically, some of the regions involved in mechanical reasoning, visual targeting and spatial reasoning appeared to mature four to eight years earlier in boys. The parts that handle verbal fluency, handwriting and recognizing familiar faces matured several years earlier in girls...
