The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for September 21, 2022

Well, at least one in the family enjoys your comic. 50% is bad.

I’ve shown a lot of comics to a lot of people

Too many words and it’s more likely they won’t be interested

Their loss

I don’t mind “wordy” comics. But the font and font size are important. Some fonts don’t work well when there is a lot of verbiage. Also, sometimes a comic is compressed to a really small size. That can make it impossible to read on a phone and difficult on a small laptop. Don’t worry Lennie, TBP is fine!

Not a great idea to alienate the reading public – even if they are toaster-like.

And Ginger never batted an eye!

Trombone players! Am I right??

Smoooth, Lennie… ☺

Well, you didn’t really want that muffin anyway, right?

You can think it. Just don’t say it. Now eat your muffin.

I suppose there are people who think that the dozen or so words in a comic strip is burdensome, it’s hard to fathom. How long does it take to read 50 words? A possibly better objection is that lots of words rather crowd the drawings, but I don’t really see the point of that, either.
