Angela and Kelly take a deep dive into comics minutiae this week with a discussion about the nitty gritty of page layouts. Angela can't understand why every panel in manga doesn't have detailed backgrounds. Kelly can't understand why Angela doesn't appreciate negative space. Kelly thinks comics move too fast. Angela worries about getting enough action for her $3.99. Also, a discussion of Rachel Thorn's fascinating thread on traffic laws in manga panelling and whether comics need similar guidelines or are better off without them.
