I'll post some art next time. I'm not this time because I don't want to distract from...
THIS
Just click on the .swf file when it loads, and use the arrow keys to navigate. It really inspires me to try something like that... in a cool, McCloudian kinda way. (there are some swears)
It also has a FOLLOWUP ... which gets bonus points for making fun of Twilight.
Enjoy. :)

"I do not make pictures for children, at least not just for children. I won't play down to them. Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old. They patronize; they treat children as inferiors. I won't do that. I'll temper a story, yes. But I won't play down, and I won't patronize them."
"I didn't treat my youngsters like frail flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things, but there are evil things, too, and you could do a child no favor by trying to shield it from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil, and that is what our pictures do."

what a great idea. this kind of thinking keeps visual story-telling fresh.
I think it's most effective for surprises. It was also kinda cool and dynamic (still deciding whether it's gimmicky or not, like fast zoom-ins) to see the changing size of drawings. Seemed less confined than a typical comic page.
I'd just hate to see people use it in place of good composition basic story principles, rather than in concert with.
The reason I love this idea so much is because it's like the missing link between comics and storyboards/animatics. One is a still image, one moves. But this gives you the freedom to create your own timing, or go back to see previous panels. And you won't accidentally spoil yourself by seeing a panel too soon when you turn the page (not to mention that changes within panels allow for more subtlety).
But it's true - just the way comic artists can do a bad job with composition and such, it can be poorly presented here too. Fortunately, I think it'll still be quite possible to see the difference.
(the only main drawback I can see so far is this would be crazy hard to actually earn money on... except on media devices like the iPhone, which unfortunately have small screens. But for the sake of trying an experimental storytelling method, I think it's worth exploring. Webcomics especially can benefit, if they never were going to print anyway.)
Oh my gosh, that was amazing! Thanks for sharing that link!
Man I have GOT to figure out how to do this...
