It's using pictograms and ideograms to tell a story, implicitly using a language. This can and should be extended to a general purpose language.

This was why I flagged it 'OT', which means "Off Topic", i.e. irrelevant. Different forums have different conventions, and judging by the downvotes even flagged OT is not OK here. I've learned my lesson.
