Page "Panel (comics)" Paragraph 7

There are two major styles used in newspaper comics, single panels and strips.

Single panels usually, but not always, are not broken up and lack continuity.

The popular Dennis the Menace and The Family circus are both single panels.

Strips on the other hand are generally longer and shaped into a rectangle.

Strips include Peanuts and Garfield.

J. R. Williams ' long-run Out Our Way continued as a daily panel even after it expanded into a Sunday strip, Out Our Way with the Willets.

Jimmy Hatlo's They'll Do It Every Time was often displayed in a two-panel format with the first panel showing some deceptive, pretentious, unwitting or scheming human behavior and the second panel revealing the truth of the situation.
