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! ^_^
