A tip of the hat to Matthew Dow Smith for the inspiration for this comic with an assist from Allison Shabet.
As Matthew was pointing out, given a panel layout of
A D
B D
where you have three panels, A, B and D (like the first three in today’s comic), it’s hard for the reader to decide which order to read them in – A, B then D or
A, D then B. Having a double height on the left is ok, that is:
D A
D B
As the order is obviously D then A then B.
Another questionable layout may be found here.
