Oh look, a different layout!

So I'm trying an experimental, manga-inspired, page layout. It's the same amount of content as a strip (5 panels), but I feel like I can squeeze more out of it this way.

Plus, I think the strip layout leads to a false impression that ZdC is a gag-a-day style strip. When, really, it's more of a humorous-short-story style strip. :-D

What do you think?

Update: I went ahead and switched back to a wider format. Here's the taller version:

I'm still not sure about the gag-a-day assumptions. But what can you do?
