I have made far many episodes of Strip Panel Naked now, but here’s a handful of fun ones to keep you busy on a regular Wednesday—

If three panels isn’t enough, here’s an episode looking at the 16 grid, and its balance of four-panel tiers with The Dark Knight Returns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_TlTR-k0SM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Colour isn’t restricted to colourists, of course. Maré Odomo’s letters in Snotgirl are amongst some of my favourites. Here’s why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4m9JGIXQgw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
More on lettering, with Grim Wilkins did some wonderful things with it in Mirenda. This episode focused on the concept of visual dialogue balloons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx9tX1HRdk0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
