Thanks so much for noticing. I just realized that neither had given themselves credit for their work!

THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT! (Webcomics, that is.) I just read the "Benny and Penny" preview and boy, does it read smoothly and clearly. My eye wasn't thrown for a moment, and it wasn't just the simplicity of the dialogue. No bells and whistles like Marvel's overdone "Smart panel" mode that whooshes you around the page unpredictably. Just readable pages/panels that are obviously read left-to-right, and a simple scroll bar. The line looks terrific, too. Three cheers for Francoise Mouly! YES! THAT’S THE WAY YOU DO IT!
