Chapter 2 episode 3 of Networked is up and here!
This is where I began to screw around with panel structure and see if it’s possible to reinvent how composition of panels and you read them works on the internets. What makes comics comics and not just movies is panels, but once you post things online, you end up with motion and scrolling just because your looking at it in a browser.

There are moments when you do something exactly right in your life and this panel is one of them. A clear composition, fitting into the storytelling and hitting a point of frustration for poor Phillip Sand.
