A story told using pictures, reveals the scene you are prescribing with least words needed.

A Japanese philosopher once said: “a picture is worth a thousand words”. 
The picture itself can be drown in several ways: Classical, Black & White, Colored, Caricature, or any other way.

The style, is limited by the age group we are targeting, as well as the theme of the story.
In case of sequential panel images, it is in the category of Comics, whether it is classical or cartoons and caricature.

Another important issue regarding the use of pictorials, is that man will remember pictures, patterns, colors and light effects (in case of black and white pictures), more than words and sentences.

Bottom line is that pictures are more efficient than words alone in story telling literature.
Another attractive way to tell a story would be through films and movies. However, they have their own disadvantages such as not being able to review and revise the picture again. Whereas in books you can go to the reference in a much easier way.

DIFFERENT TYPE OF DRAWINGS: DIFFERENT LANGUAGE
Comics, Caricature, and Cartoons.

 The techniques differ in delivering the message, though it could be used alternatively for the same message, in some cases.

A cartoon could be a drawing representing a realistic or semi realistic illustration, which represents an idea or event, while comics is a strip of panels telling a story.

Comics may be presented by using classical drawing, (Zorro, Three Musketeers, Batman, Superman etc.) or in a caricature style (Mad Magazine).

Caricature is usually used to present a comically distorted drawing, done with the purpose of satirizing or ridiculing its subject. Caricature is used today primarily for conveying political commentary and editorial opinion in newspapers and social magazines.

Usually, political issues or famous personalities are drawn in caricature to distort their picture, with the purpose of criticizing their protruding features, or character, in a funny way.

If drawing is done in a classical way, in black ink for example, that would not be so funny. However, if we draw caricature in comics, like Asterix and Obelix, or  Tin Tin, with the purpose to narrate a story, it might be more essential to do so, in a serious and teachable story for children, knowing that they will accept it in a funny pictorial way, as well as welcoming the teaching it presents.

What about drawing a Gospel story into Caricature? Making fun of Saints? What about Jesus? What is the purpose? Why Simon Peter is the main character?

If the purpose is to teach children, then that might be much useful.

Instead of presenting a fictional story in classical way, like Superman for example, we may present a very serious realistic story (Biblical stories), with non-realistic illustrations.

Always taking into consideration the Holy Personality, and drawing it with the least distortions, counting our purpose to make it appealing to children, without dishonoring the character we draw.
