Lest you think I'm just fetishizing dislike, let me restate some things. On a case by case basis, some silent penultimate panels work, some (most) do not. However, whenever any technique is used too often, and with little skill, it becomes a cliche. Is the silent penultimate panel a cliche? Well, the evidence I have gathered here seems to suggest so. And that is all I mean to do here--track the SPP appearances. That's it. And maybe make a few wise-acre remarks along the way. (Or maybe I just really, really love disliking things.)

Matt, That was a very polite response to an uneccesarily rude comment.
So I'll do the rudeness for you: Up yours, anonymous. 100 visitors a day can't be wrong.
Oh, and: Statement of Purpose? Hey, as long as you're playing Charles Foster Kane, do I get to play Jed Leland?
