Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

More than applaud brevity (although modest brevity often pays off) or ridicule long comics, the lesson here is, that when you have a joke you want to make into a strip, choosing a format is only a matter of refinement. Most gags can be told in a single panel; most gags can be stretched into a nine panel monster.

Original strips from: 2009-05-17, 2009-05-18, 2009-05-19, 2009-05-20, 2009-05-21, 2009-05-22, 2009-05-23.
