text placement is very disturbing for somebody who read left to right all their lives

Looks like the hierarchy is top to bottom then left to right. It's not ideal but it actually is consistent.

Is there a better option if the Person on the right is speaking first?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lay out the comic such that the person on the left is talking first in each panel, or position the bubbles such that it's obvious which one comes first. There's other options I'm sure, but I'm not a comic artist.

I like it, you just acquired a regular reader. I look forward to seeing where this story goes.

Thank you! It’s a passion project and something that we want to keep at for a long time.

Sadly out of stock, otherwise I 100% would have bought one.

Reminds me of my favorite scene in Demolition Man.
