Film techniques within comics

It's rare that you see a new-fangled Webcomics format that truly enriches the experience of reading. More often than not, overly done Flash interfaces or "infinite canvas" comic-formats get in the way of actually reading the comic. You become very conscious of the act of reading.

But this comic caught my eye for it's clever use of pans, wipes and reveals "within" panels. It takes a second to adjust to, but most of the time they really add to the experience. It's worth checking out, if you have a minute.

Synchronicity! Jimmy Johnson was talking about cinematographic effects just yesterday [arloandjanis.com] - only in an older medium.

Plug: Johnson's a truly great human being and his relaunched blog is a good read. Go see him. He's the guy that turned me onto webcomics in the first place. (And I'm still hoping he'll plug Sheldon some day). And just to make matters betters, Arlo & Janis [comics.com] is actually funny. I guess that's why so few papers run it.
