Gonna bookmark my favourite pages of faces
this one, for example, where the need for structure prompts artist to put a line around every panel, so that one of the panels where a character is taking up unplanned spacem, the panel juts out into a bizarre negative space, and the negative space at the bottom was left there. This image was cropped ... we know it's cropped because the previous page has dimensions 600x366 pixels and this one has 607x202 pixels. There is no established format that every page must conform to a specific landscape dimension for every single page, as opposed to most physical media being drawn "on pages" which conforms to the dimensions of the physical page.
Comic seems to be drawn with pen on paper and scanned into a digital format, meaning that this current page we are speaking about, was actually originally in posession of way more negative space, if artist was using the same physical page size for every layout. Perhaps a regular portrait printer page, and cropping from that the dimensions of the actual comic.
I have an innate need to investigate whether this was made with a sketchbook-type thing, where all the pages were uniform and stuck together from the beginning, or whether it was done on loose sheets of paper, some sheets of which may have been of different size.
Altogether a clever and fun journey so far, I do so appreciate characters who know they are in a story.
