Okay. I've no idea what this comic is or what happens in it. I just want to deal with the whole 'inability to visualise without aids = unimaginative' thing?

Visualisation is a skill. Not everyone automatically imagines visually. Some people do it verbally, for example. I had a friend who couldn't see the pictures in her head when she read a book (that was a fascinating conversation), but she could write the meanest debate speech you ever heard. She conceptualised the concepts verbally, not visually.

Even people who do visualise and do it well sometimes use aids to help keep track of things (writing a story involving a lot of body contact, it can be useful to remember where limbs are, and doing the basic 'the pepper pot is the baddie and the sugar bowl is the doomsday weapon, and this spoon is the hero' can help keep track of where people are in action scenes or whatever).

Just ... not everyone can create an entire visual scenario in their heads, and even those who can sometimes use aids to remember that real world and headspace don't always agree on the details. I don't see how this automatically makes them less imaginative.

+1 to this. Not everyone who is imaginative is visually so.

*nods*

I generally don't visualize when I read. It's like I'm talking to myself in my head when I read rather than the "seeing a movie" my husband says is what reading does for him.

I cannot see pictures in my head when I read either. As a kid I was extremely confused when someone told me I was supposed to because I flat out couldn't understand how.
