Description
A Leif & Thorn redraw/update of Wally Wood's 22 Panels That Always Work.
The classic version is great -- I've leaned on it a bunch of times over the years. Enough that I wasn't deliberately referencing it in any of these strips, just using a variety of layouts out of habit. But there are at least 7 other workhorse panel compositions, not in the original set, that I keep coming back to.
(Gold star for the first person who can name all the strips these came from.)
Transcript
Solid ways to get some visual variety into your panels, even when the characters are just sitting around and talking for page after page. The first three rows are Wally Wood's original 22 panel layouts (with the words slightly modernized). The last row is a set of worthy additions. I've leaned on them during all kinds of long scenes, and they hold up every time.
