Well a big part of using 3 panels is because of the pacing. Bill Waterson (Calvin and Hobbs) was really intergral in hammering home this format.Quote:

Your first frame is setup, the second frame is generally a "little joke"/segue, and the third is the punchline.
But I totally agree about using other formats that you wouldn't normally be able to do in print. For my stuff I'm currenly working on some non-print focus work to really take advantage of the medium.
This is one of my favorite web comics: www.e-sheep.com He's done amazing things as far as bringing credibility to web comics and not just duplicating print based stuff.
1) Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest comic ever made.
2) This comic is pretty damn funny.
