McCloud's ideas are represented in Return to Sender; not all of the frames have words but the reader can still comprehend what is going on through the images. This is the beauty of comics. Also, it seems as though each frame last only 1-2 seconds.
In Rice, amplification through simplification is used. On the main web page, this is a collage of pictures that contains hyperlinks to another web page. The hyperlink leads to another hyperlink that reveals an image and a poem.

Good examples.
When I looked at rice I didn't understand how to really connect it with what McCloud was saying but reading what you wrote I definitely agree. It's a great point, the pictures definitely help amplify the message.
I agree with both points brought up in this. It would be interesting to look at the two works switching the ideas. I.E. the sequential order of Rice if there is one.
I also did rice because I thought it was amp through simp, so I agree. I guess on the basis of narratology you could have said something about, in Rice, how the narrative level usually happens in the middle or above the middle of the page? Like how most of the words are in one line or something like that. You could also go with how the context is basically on an author and reader level, but you could argue other levels like narrator to addresse or possibly even character to character as well (especially the link involved the picture of the girl).
