He specifically instructed Wolfman not to use thought balloons or internal narrative boxes. Perez said he created Jericho to be an "artist's character". I think Perez meant he wanted the onus for conveying Joey's thoughts and feelings primarily on him, the penciller. What I'm taking away from that is that Perez intended Joey as kind of an artist's challenge/test.<br /><br />(I'm NOT endorsing this approach, mind you, just giving backstory.)<br /><br />Those clumsy EXTERNAL narrative captions ("searching for concepts no sign language was designed to convey"), though?
