Lots of Stress/Anxiety + Lack of Time = Less Complexity. In order for the comic strips to get it up on time, I’ve had to use simpler layouts/less panels.

That’s probably the simplest answer, honestly. It’s been a rough few months this summer. I’m trying to shake the strip layouts up and bring a little more action back into the comic (I do realize that it can get repetitive with dialogue-heavy strips, and I am trying to limit it), but that doesn’t always happen, unfortunately.
