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.
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.
Not being sarcastic at all.

Or, keep panels 1, 4 and 5. This shows she had an introspective moment.
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.
I’m glad my bird brain could’ve been of use :D
