I've got a question. Is there some sort of art in arranging panels in comics so that the reader can't put them in sequence without reading them? It doesn't add to my enjoyment of the comics, but it's so common that I wonder if it's being done intentionally. "Huh? Who's this Choronzon character? .... Oh, I see, I was supposed to read those panels before this column." I only mention it because the one-page comic was probably the worst offender I've seen in a long time. These are great.
