2. Notes for the tech-unsavvy, or "My God, why are the panels so HUGE?"

The OP is linking to TMW at The Nib. That site is designed to be device-friendly, so the panels are able to "float" and reconfigure depending on screen width. That lets someone viewing it on a mobile device scroll through the panels at a size where they can actually read them, whereas the regular arrangement would make it unreadable without zooming in.

However, if you link directly to the panels, people reading them on a regular desktop screen see them as huge.

A more conventional single-image view of TMW goes up on Daily Kos every Monday. Here's their comics page:

I highly recommend The Nib, as it hosts some long-form comics and graphic storytelling that are well-worth reading. Just a note for DUers that some people positing there have stuff that would violate DU's "Support Democrats" TOS (from the lefty side).
