yeah, the rest of Trudeau's strip really diminishes the impact of that bizarrely self-contained first panel: http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/archive/2010/11/15
I'm not actually sure about the "versatile punch-lines" one, as I was distracted by a strange conversation I was having while making it, but I really like the "quiet times" ones. there are so many hushed little still panels in comic strips, and put together it seems like the whole comics world is holding its breath.
I see now what you were trying to say with the "quiet times", good idea ( : That reminds me, I was talking the other day to blogger "burning reels" about the recent emergence of a new kind of "quiet films" with little dialogue, and much non-verbal emotion. "Wendy and lucy" is one I liked. You might be interested. I'll be reviewing some of those in future.
I'm an American Anglophile and a weary old young lady; I'm also fond of Rick Moranis, Finland, television, movies, comics, and discussing the aforementioned to rambling lengths.
The top one I really liked, where the radio answers what you're thinking, ha ha ( :
