I recently bought Emily Carroll's collection of comics and it's insanely good. You can read some of them online on her website.

Really enjoying these now, thanks for the shout!

This sort of attitude is nothing new. Under the old Hays Code regime all criminals had to be portrayed in such a way that nobody would feel any sympathy for them and they always had to get some kind of punishment.

Just looked at the proposal in 1927, and it's quite the read:

quote:

...That those things which are included in the following list shall not appear in pictures... irrespective of the manner in which they are treated:

Pointed profanity – by either title or lip – this includes the words "God", "Lord", "Jesus", "Christ" (unless they be used reverently in connection with proper religious ceremonies), "hell", "drat", "Gawd", and every other profane and vulgar expression however it may be spelled;
Any licentious or suggestive nudity – in fact or in silhouette; and any lecherous or licentious notice thereof by other characters in the picture;
The illegal traffic in drugs;
Any inference of sex perversion;
White slavery;
Miscegenation (sex relationships between the white and black races);
Sex hygiene and venereal diseases;
Scenes of actual childbirth – in fact or in silhouette;
Children's sex organs;
Ridicule of the clergy;
Willful offense to any nation, race or creed;

...That special care be exercised in the manner in which the following subjects are treated, to the end that vulgarity and suggestiveness may be eliminated and that good taste may be emphasized:

The use of the flag;
...
Theft, robbery, safe-cracking, and dynamiting of trains, mines, buildings, etc. (having in mind the effect which a too-detailed description of these may have upon the moron);
...
Methods of smuggling;
...
Sympathy for criminals;
Attitude toward public characters and institutions;
Sedition;
...
Titles or scenes having to do with law enforcement or law-enforcing officers;
Excessive or lustful kissing, particularly when one character or the other is a "heavy".

It feels like it's an unwritten law of comics that after a few years of the same story you have to include a never-ending navel-gazing investigation of your personal philosophy through the (web)comic.

If there's one thing that I know about composition, it's that you avoid symmetry. Balance is stable, solid, boring. This page is exactly how I'd explain that lesson to someone as an example of what not to do. It's a loving rorschach blot of awful.

e: The graphics add nothing, they don't give a single bit of information that isn't in the dialogue.

Yes 12 panels is too long, but the edit only works because you know the punchline. On it's own the edit is "Why does the police chief have a baseball in his mouth? He's intimidating the subject by being crazy and terrible at his job, a really bad cop." which is slightly funnier but awkward. To tell the joke in 4-panels, panel 3 would show the 2nd cop looking threatening, and in panel 4 the ball would be a tennis ball instead of a baseball, to make it obvious that it is for playing fetch without having to demonstrate it over several panels.

I didn't even notice the eyes being moved back, because those wandering eyes add nothing and are simply distracting.

I'd go for a newspaper or slippers, personally.

I'm normally a fan of brevity, but I think the 12 panels all do work in showing the suspect's nonplussedness, you need those confusion beats for the comedy to work. I think you could tell the joke in less panels, but you'd have to totally rewrite it.

Man, this is reminding me I've still not read How to Read Nancy, which is an entire book of dissecting and massively overthinking a gag strip.
