This is a very dialogue driven strip. It's kind of interesting
that it follows a very visually driven strip. Maybe that's why
it feels so static visually. It's hard to get a good balance
between the visual and textual information, especially when the
visual is so limited. Comics is a hard art, because it feels
like you need to master three arts; two totally different arts
(visual and textual) and the art of combining them. It's quite
possible that I've only made it worse by adding a fourth.
