    Fourth panel doesn’t need to be there. Doesn’t add anything and throws off the alignment of the panels.

    Looks like one of those comics with the a missing panel at the end that makes you subscribe to Patreon to see it.

      I think the fourth panel is better than the fifth panel. If I were going to cut one, I’d cut the fifth one.

        Not being sarcastic at all.

        But You know, I never really thought about it that way.

        Like, we can cross out panels in comic books. We own the book. We can choose our own narrative, make it whatever we want. Uncle Ben lives. Batman carries a gun. The A on Captain America is Ass.

        I can’t believe I had this thought without any drugs.

        You really empowered my creativity. Thank you good sir.

            That read makes the comic way faster and a greater hit on the creep factor of the vamps

          I misread it as “the A is on Captain America’s ass.” Makes sense, it is America’s ass after all. Be fun to watch it stretch and flex, too.

          Bill Watterson had to design his Sunday Calvin and Hobbes strips around different newpapers’ size and layout demands.
          His solution was to have two or three panels that could be omitted and the rest of the panels could be rearranged to still form a rectangle.
          The title splash is usually a 2/3rds rectangle with some fun art that adds to the strip but isn’t required for the flow – Hobbes pouncing from a coil, or Calvin walking in snowpants with the sound effects following him the full length.

          These can set the stage but aren’t critical. I like to cover them up and feel out what the flow would have been in different papers.

      please, continue to do so.

      show up randomly like a snobby food critic complaining about how the dauphin potatoes are cut too thinly to be a proper dauphin.

      and complain about the most meaningless stuff with disgust and passion.

      Brevity is the soul of wit. It’s like those tiktok videos that go on for too long. We got the joke in the first two scenes of the skit, and now it’s scene 5 and it’s the same joke, just a different silly voice or scenario. We get it. Bring back Vine.

          My comment was in direct response to your first sentence. Would you be willing to restate your point in other words, as I seem to be so far off the mark?
