Now that Joshie Takes A Big One is underway, I'm wondering how you feel about the new "strip" format? Is it easier to read? Or do you prefer more traditional "page" formats?Please comment your reading experience so far :)

I mainly look at Patreon from my phone so the strip format requires a lot of zooming/pinching/scrolling. Pages are better for mobile viewing but that’s just my two cents 😅

Thanks for the feedback! The strip format was actually designed to be easier on phone 🤣 zoom in once then scroll the rest of the way I find I have that same experience you with the page format, having to pinch and zoom to read the dialogue, moving around a lot to see each panel. I'm not saying there's a "right" or "wrong" way, just trying to learn everyone's taste 🥰

Please change to page format. The strip format was and is a bad idea. The strip is much too long. Thank you for your consideration of my sugestion.

What a resounding result! The people have spoken decisively! The strip format was an experiment, and sometimes experiments don't hit the mark. I'll be re-uploading JTABO over the next few days in traditional comic-book format. Thank you all so much for the feedback!

Could be the browser I'm using on the phone: I definitely like the strip format. Either way it looks great. Love that you're experimenting and asking to see what works.

I’m guessing that the audience that likes strip comics probably has read other web comics before over on WEBTOON and other platforms designed for that. I was intrigued with what you were doing since it seems the strip format is the norm for webcomics by and large but requires a different thinking process when it comes to page layout & storytelling that Patreon’s basic interface doesn’t make the best fit for. Truth be told, their page to page system could be better too!

I prefer the strip format, mainly because you can fit more on it and have a faster plot progression. What would have taken us 8 weeks to see in page form we got to see in 4 weeks. And that allows you to put in more detail per page and keep each page interesting, instead of it feeling slow and drawn out.

I agree. Webtoons and other online comics in strip format work excellently on phones and tablets because you just scroll down and keep going till you get to the end. However, Patrons' interface isn't designed for, or suited to that 😭 It may work for completed stories, but definitely not page-by-page 😭

Badonkadonk

Exactly!! Everything you said is what I was thinking when I started in strip format, and the visual storytelling did feel a lot smoother to produce. Given the poll results were so overwhelming we will be returning to comic format. HOWEVER I think I've found a compromise 😉

You know what? I'm changing my vote. I'm used to 'comic book' layouts so I just chose that my default, but I think there's real merit to switching to a 'strip' style in today's day and age.
