For my final comic blog, I'm doing the Order of the Stick by Rich Burlew.  I've seen panels of this floating around the internet for years, but I never read it in context until this week.  I was surprised by how much I liked it, I think the simplistic drawings kept me from looking into it sooner, but after picking out a few pages for this post, I went back to the beginning of the comic and read the first 90 pages.

I found it interesting how each page could be a self contained story, and yet there is an overarching plot, and what happens in the end of one page carries over to the next.

As for the art, one of the first things I noticed was how the box was not a perfect rectangle, it seems to be expanding in the middle, and the inner panels aren't always straight either.  The second thing I noticed was how the speech bubbles often expand outside of the box.  I think that for this particular comic that works because the characters often reference the fact that they're in a comic, so it doesn't seem as weird as it would in a more serious comic.
