The first post of Another Lovely Day, a single panel series engaging in a bit of offbeat humor. Scheduled to be updated on a weekly basis each Monday for the time being.
With this post I’m trying out a different way of presenting a single panel, a horizontal format with the caption in its own panel to the left.
A lot of single panel “strips” typically tend to be vertical formats with the caption below and sometimes a bit of dialog inside the panel. From my unscientific observation, with the vertical layout a person typically looks at the drawing first along with any dialog within, then glances down to read the caption below, then looks again at the drawing. This may repeat. So I wonder how a horizontal layout changes things. How does it mess things up? Or does it?
I read the caption first…being a left-to-right kinda reader and all…
Nice work!
Thanks, but do you read the caption first on a typical panel say, in your newspaper or wherever? I wonder how accurate my original observation is.
