I should put up a survey or something because I want the comic to be easy to read for you folk. Should it be vertical? Horizontal? Four panels in a square? I don’t know! What do you think? I’m in for all sorts of discussion on how this is laid out!
And yes, with this reboot, I am married.
I liked the left to right layout myself, but I’m open to whatever you decide. I like the less scrolling when I’m reading the comic.
And I’ll never figure out this layout stuff. *sigh* Comic Easel is not as easy as I thought!
with this sort of format, with blog posts along with a comic, i think horizontal, or a square, or whatever is the better choice. vertical is maybe only easiest for mobile users.
however if you have a strip that has a surprise last panel (like the danemen comics do on occasion), then the vertical format is better because the last panel is more likely to be a surprise to the reader, making the joke a bit better.
i may or may not think about this at least once a week. and by “may not” i mean i totally think about this sort of thing more often than i probably should XD.
Thanks, DZ! ^_^
I think horizontal looks good. Vertical is a pain to scroll through on the computer, especially if you’re doing comics with more than 4 panels.
Yes, I may eventually just stick with 4 again… 2×2…
I’m so glad you are still doing a daily webcomic. As someone said elsewhere, The webcomics I follow have an unfortunate tendency to end.
As to the layout: I vote for either horizontal or vertical. Not the 2×2, which looks nice, but makes my brain take in the panels in the wrong order (something like 1-3-4-2 or so).
Oh! Hmm, never thought of that. Thanks, that’s interesting.
Now I don’t know what to do. *laugh*
I vote horizontal. I know mobile users have an easier time with the vertical but it’s weird to look at and now I have to scroll twice. Once to read the comic, once more to go back up for the blurb.
I have no opinion on the layout. I’m just here to giggle at the look on Errol’s face in the last panel. That’s how all married men should look. 🙂
It definitely is on mine! ^_^
