The Oatmeal was always a funny, geeky comic but then it started telling longer, often more personal stories in these large, slightly meandering, giant panels displayed vertically, like the story of Tesla.
I love how the unusual format adds to the storytelling. I never know quite where he is going, the size of the panels lends a kind of comedy timing, and unpredictability as I have to scroll and scroll, and it’s often a bizarre multifaceted mix; silly, thoughtful and charming. Here’s a great one about his house burning down.
Everyone too, has known a pet like Domino…
