print comics which re-invent the media?

in "reinventing comics," one of the subjects of discussion is the limitations of panels, and how to play with them.

has anybody read "9 chickweed lane"? it's a syndicated comic strip which appears in print, and plays beautifuly within its limitations.

apologies if this has been mentioned before.

I love No. 9 Chickweed Lane, and when I read that first one you show, I had thought to post it to the forum here, but then it slipped my mind. Now that there's a Get Fuzzy collection, Chickweed is number one on my list of comics that I would love to see collected in dead-tree format (Truth be told, it was number one on my list previous, and Get Fuzzy was only number two, but now it stands alone).

What's may be of particular interest is that the author of Chickweed, Brooke McEldowney, draws his comic digitally-- no paper, no pens.
