Interesting approach to panels. I am reading Stay As You Are by Brad Yung and he used to make Non Sequitor comics in which each panel was independent, but the panels were like a camouflaged larger image, e.g. sideways Hello Kitty.

I'll have to look for Stay As You Are! Since your Raymond's Brain comics are sequential webcomics, done daily - I was wondering: do you find it challenging to come up with a new topic each day & a topic that you can fit in 4 panels?

Yes. I keep thinking it would be a smart to have a list to plan ahead, but somehow that doesn't happen. I seem to have gotten used to thinking in 4 panels now though and I think being consistent is easier than if I used different formats all the time.

I've definitely found that being consistent & using the same format for a series makes creating my art easier and faster—it's one less variable to think about!

Yes, exactly. And thinking of something to create becomes a habit. I also don't worry about being perfect.
