A little too obscure, I suppose. I went in and added an exhortation to "click" in what shows in the friends view now.
As a matter of fact, the title comes from one of the lines in Scott's "Understanding Comics" - the bit about "non sequitur" panel transitions. Do these link up? Does the proximity do it despite the thematic/color differences? They do for me. One single image from me usually generates a story in the viewer's head; three together beg to be explained.
And the fact that a side effect of the method I used to do the rollovers turned each panel into a link makes me wonder... where would they link? I can see making some kind of weird hypertextual comic based in this, even though the rollovers were an absolute random impulse anyway!
I drew the panels in the order of girl, lizard, note, but the order they need to be seen in is... inexplicable.
Thinking some more about it, this would be a cool approach to use when you don't want the subject of a given page to be explicitly displayed, such that each rollover 'panel' would refer to a common subject, but the subject itself would never be concretely displayed. For example, one page's subject might be "greed," but each panel would show an aspect of greed without ever using the word or being blatant...hmmmm...
