Hello,
Can you explain why you write this blog? Why is it wrong to have a strip with a silent beat? This isn't rhetorical - I wonder what you don't like. I found your blog looking for references to a new LA Times panel that sucks! But you reference Robotman- or whatever JM calls it now- which is one of the best strips in the country. His beats rock!
If it matters, I'm a working cartoonist and I've been everywhere, including the Times- but I do a panel.
Yeah, usually an SPP gag needs the silent beat. But it's like any other trick of the trade -- sometimes cartoonists do it because it's habitual and less work than to rewrite to maybe get a better strip.
