Today I relished Unflattening by @Nsousanis—a dissertation-as-comic on the power of graphic communication to delinearize multifaceted topics, convey nuance, balance the analytical.

It's a great instance of self-exemplifying media: using comics to present complex ideas on comics.

Understanding Comics by @scottmccloud also uses comics to explicate comics

Gödel, Escher Bach presents an exploration of twisting, self-referential representations in twisting, self-referential prose.
Meaningness.com (by @Meaningness) uses a fuzzy, non-hierarchical hypertext structure to present arguments about the essential fluidity of everything.
@EdwardTufte describes how to present information clearly and efficiently in books whose pages have themselves been meticulously designed to exemplify those practices.
