I'm a sucker for haiku comics! I love creating four-panel haiku comics where one of the panels is silent and is used as a counterpoint to one of the other panels. This works well when you have a cutting word at the end of the second line and put a silent third panel in to let the audience think about that before changing course in the third line/fourth panel. I also like using silent panels at the start or end of a four panel series to give context or create a feeling of time flowing/slowing.

Thanks for the exercise ideas!

Hi Jason, I love this method of controlling pacing through silent panels and extending the context/sense of time by adding one to the beginning or end. I will have to experiment! Thanks for sharing this addition!
