Are you sure? I only count 4 - first one is a two-pager, but the second and third are both 1-pagers.

[Rogar Demonblud]

You're right, I added 1191 and 1192 to my total for 1190 and 1191. Lemme edit.

If the final book has the same number of introductory pages as the last three have (10 pages), that means we've just completed the first 16-page set (I believe it's called a "signature" in printing jargon?) of the book.

What defines a half a page?

[Peelee]

What defines a half a page?

A comic that's a half page long. Sometimes done at the end if a multi-page strip, where the beginning of the next one is also half a page, sometimes done to make room for bonus material in a book.

Ah, I thought it might have been something more complex for a moment.

[Peelee]

Frankly, I'm just really happy that didn't come across as sarcastic sounding, which I was afraid of as soon as I posted it.

[SirKazum]

I think the thing is that, with OOTS being a primarily web-based comic, it's easy to forget it's also a print comic (and deliberately made to work as one). So, for us reading it on our browsers, it does all look kind of arbitrary sometimes, with comics having different lengths here and there, but they're an actual number of pages, and half a page is simply half a physical, paper page.

[Rogar Demonblud]

I think there's all of two strips that weren't done with publishing in mind but rather using the infinite canvas effect. Roy's fall from the zombie dragon and the graveyard of the worlds.

Time to see how far converting it to a single long paper can go until the reader's eyes stop focusing!

Those really do a good job with the medium though.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Yeah. One of the things that sucks is that Rich will likely retire from art once the strip wraps due to the damage to his hands, so we won't be able to admire all the little ways he innovates.

And to a lesser extent, Tsukiko blasting Haley through the side of the strip. Not infinite canvas, but also not very publishing-friendly--to the point that it's nonsensical in the digital book, even.

[Squire Doodad]

Damage to his hands? Did he sprain his wrist or something?

[Peelee]

Damage to his hands? Did he sprain his wrist or something?

Panel 11 recounts it somewhat.

[Rogar Demonblud]

There's also the issue of repetitive stress injuries, like every other artist.
