I just now noticed that the panel arrangement usually chosen by (or imposed upon?) FoXo for each daily strip follows a pattern I find interesting. Typically there are four equal sized boxes which we see on GoComics side-by-side, but which could be printed with the first two above and the last two beneath. Sometimes, as in #3 above, two panels at one end are treated as if they are a continuing panorama. Sometimes an individual panel is split horizontally and/or vertically into several smaller panels. Rarely, the left and right halves of each strip (or top and bottom, depending on how it was printed) were treated as spaces that could be divided (or not) in whatever way best served the gag being illustrated. Yet another aspect of cartooning handled masterfully by FoXo— and without readers even giving it a thought.
