Thanks, I appreciate your encouragement and compliments, especially the comparisons to such great comics.

I guess that in soliciting feedback, I'm not really aiming to make sure 100% of people "get" my next comic. I don't really see it as a failure if a few people don't connect the dots the exact way I intended. And especially because I'm not trying to gain internet fame with it (I don't have a website, or even title or sign these things; it's not my main creative pursuit right now).

But I do think it's valuable to learn from strangers how they connect the panels to create a narrative, and how the panel order, subject matter, colour scheme etc. can influence that. The way this medium is interpreted can also be deployed for misdirection, the way PBF does. Learning about how a comic is received can help me analyze that.

Thanks again for taking the time and sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it immensely.
