Comic Strip Formats - Other Formats

Other Formats

As newspapers print fewer and fewer pages in the Sunday comics section (apart from constant downsizings on the newspapers themselves, apart from broadsheets becoming narrower), a variety of other formats have been introduced over the years, including formats that divide the page into vertical and horizontal sections. To fit the format of the weekly Grit, Little Annie Rooney and other Sunday strips were given extreme vertical rearrangements, which have grown very common in recent years (example: the Sunday strip for Non Sequitur is now available only in a vertical near-page-long format).
