This feels so wrong

This feels like a Calvin and Hobbes strip

Is it just me or does this genuinely improve the comic?

Somebody mentioned in the tags earlier that it feels more serious and less like a comedy strip

I don’t know how just making it horizontal does that, but I definitely feel it.

It’s cause it’s set up more sequential than the 2x2 set-up which breaks up the flow of something that feels like would happen rather fast in the character’s head. Tragic events are usually set up in a way where it feels like there is little-to-no-time to digest what just happened.
