A Little Composition Lesson from Milton Caniff

I had favorited this link on Twitter months ago and just found it again; this is a quick little lesson about comic panel composition from the late, great Milton Caniff.  Not an earth-shattering revelation -- just something to keep in mind.

Story Composition

For those who don't recognize his name: Milton Caniff was the writer/cartoonist of war/adventure comics strips Terry and the Pirates in the 1930s and Steve Canyon in the 1940s up through his death in 1988 (although he didn't draw all of Steve Canyon after the first few years).
