Understanding Comics
In case you didn't know comics were supposed to be read from left to right, this cartoon has handy arrows for its three panels.
One thing really isn't clear: Why does "Beijing 2008" simply disappear in the second panel? Who took it? What happened in between those panels?!

Do you mean left to right?
Still, clever observation :P
Damn, you're fast. I just caught that after posting.
I originally wrote something about authentic Manga reprints being read right to left and didn't change the setup. I'm almost as dumb as this guy.
This guy is one of the worst I've seen yet. Just what the hell is this even supposed to mean?

The arrows aren't there because the cartoonist is stupid, I suspect; he just has a very good grasp of the intelligence of anyone who would laugh at his "humor".
As a corollary, the "Beijing 2008" was clearly removed for his fans' benefit, as it contains far too many syllables and numbers for them to manage.
