Tha Abrams book collecting some of jaffee's Tall Tales features only the non-text gags (I didn't know there were some with text until seeing this).<br /><br />In Spain in the late 1950s an art agent came up with the idea of doing a vertical strip. That is to say, instead of having three panels placed horizontally, they were placed vertically, so you read the top panel, went to the one just underneath it and so on. It must've been kind of popular, because at least a half-dozen strips (western, sci-fi, adventure) were done like this and sold all over Europe. However drawing a horse galloping in a vertical format is really hard to do. <br /><br />It kind of reminds what people film with their cellphones: those narrow (vertical) videos are just so annoying to watch.Diego Cordobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03217884448976689435noreply@blogger.com
