Fascinating Tor !! I am surprised Wikipedia had definition so late in 20th century.... I associate those panels with the painter Lichtenstein in early 1960’s or maybe that was just the one closeup version.... of course did not realise info for people who drew cartoon!!! Really funny as usual when Mr Rose and nuns appear in their many recreations!!!!!

Love E xxxxxx

Great post Tor! Your version breaks Wally Wood’s layout techniques into easy to visualize panels. I look forward to seeing how you apply them to a comic of your own panels. And in the differences from the way you work now. I like the use of descriptive speech bubbles too. You nailed it on the nun’s speech bubbles! Ha! I’m definitely up for this drawing exercise!

Thank you, Tor! This is so interesting. By the way: Your posts really brightened up 2023 for me. When the year seemed to throw bad news at everybody all the time, this substack made me both laugh and think. THANKS!

Love love love. Exactly the sort of challenge I'd embrace in writing! I'm going to play with this. X

The Bonnie Tyler one! I can't get through "Total Eclipse" at karaoke without trying to sing "I guess that means he just flipped me the bird"
