Passing Love 2 | Page 28 | Process (Patreon)

The final three panels were initially more horizontal in orientation, but presented a possible readability issue in the transition between panels 4 to 5. My fear was that readers would go from panel 3 to panel 5, not noticing panel 4. I looked into other comics to see if I could find examples of this format so that I could get "permission" to use this layout, which also made me find a very interesting article that describes the science behind how people read comics. Perhaps you'll find it interesting: http://www.thevisuallinguist.com/2016/08/dispelling-myths-about-comics-page.html

Anyway, after my research I decided to take the safe route and re-design the layout to remove some risk. Phew!
