It’s always a tradeoff, I find, between number of panels and detail. The fewer panels the more detail I can put in, and I’m a fan of detailed comic art like that of Geof Darrow and Darick Robertson. I’ve gotten faster as an artist, but I’m still slow, so you won’t be seeing much Darrow-esque art around here. But I can find a balance, and I think on this page I made a good example of panel content and plot advancement versus artistic detail.

Bartender: Yep.
Jacob: You have blonde hair.
Bartender: Ancient tribal secret -- it's called 'peroxide'.
Jacob: Ah. You know, for a dive bar above the arctic circle...you're the cleanest bartender I've ever seen.
Bartender: Thanks. And for a dude who looks like he's pushing a hundred years old, you sure can handle your liquor.
Jacob: Alcohol doesn't affect me. And I'm ninety-eight. You have a good dye.
Bartender: It's my job. But hey, you look great.
