What is a Comic Strip?
A comic strip expresses a message or provides a brief glance of events and stories.
Key elements of a comic strip include character, setting, and plot — all conveyed in a few frames through a combination of pictures, captions, and dialogue.
Due to its condensed format, a comic strip highlights only the most important elements of its targeted topic.

What is The Layout of a comic strip?
Comics are arranged in panels (frames of any shape, though typically rectangular) with gutters (white space) between the panels.
The layout of a comic strip influences the way images interact together, and helps to give better meaning to the images than they would have if viewed individually.
Layouts are the most distinctive and defining element of a graphic narrative.
