I concur. Haven't checked in a bit, has that wonderful piece of brilliance been updated in a while?Quote:

I love that comic you linked btw.
I figured you would! I think it would drive me fucking nuts if it scrolled downwards (even worse in one of those horrible Scott McCloud "panel clouds" though)
edt: Of course, the left to right scrolling is a requirement of the movement of that particular strip. Everybody's constantly running around! Still, I feel like Washed Away would do alright with that kind of arrangement.
I like the idea of the panel popping up from the bottom, but i don't think it quiiiite works, as it's subjective based on the size of the reader's monitor. I'd almost prefer a click-through setup over scrolling down, just because I'm not huge on vertical reading arrangements. Your eye gets drawn off the panel you're looking at to the tip-top of the next one where there's not really any visuals going on.

You kind of end up shooting down to see what's next, and it takes away from the panel you're looking at, IMO. This is less of a problem in a side-to-side arrangement.
HOWEVER, the art and storytelling are fantastic, sir.
Nice.
Good crit, and one I've never heard before.
I always pictured it in my mind as being a little square book with thick pages and each page has it's own panel on it.
Possibly setting on someones coffee table.
Perhaps being read by a distinguished looking man in a smoking jacket in a lavish library.
I would buy that book, and enjoy it in that manner.

So, Scary Go Round is win.
YD is invited to my cookie party again.

Scary Go Round has been this crazy artistic journey since it started some 10 years ago. Go look at the first "Bobbins" strips by the same artist and your eyes may throw up. That's the progress you get drawing every single day. Love it.
I'd like Sarah Silverman more if her sense of humor was more clever and less "lets say random things that might be offensive when combined"
