Calvin And Hobbes: Calvin commands a snowman to come to life, but wasn't expecting it to chase him.

Almost any combination of two panels works, I think.

Seems fine for me.

Personally I'd just go with all four vertical.

Wait, we can do vertical? I always thought there was a height limit as well.

There is no hardcoded height limit.

I think 2 and 4 are enough. Besides, are we allowed to do full comics?

I think we should go instead for panels 1 and 4, because panel 1 adds more context into what Calvin's trying to do.

If that's the entire strip, we can't use it. 1+4 or 2+4 work fine for me.

I like 1+4 the most. The trope covers planned things working too well, and 1 indicates the planned/intended aspect better.

I like 1/3/4, myself. I like the "coming to life" transition frame.

1/3/4 IMO.

There is no height limit but brevity is best for clarity. I think 1-4 is the better option.

I should be working right now...

[tup] for 1+4.

While I agree that 1+4 will do, I'm still set for 1+3+4.

I prefer the three panel version.

The three-panel version definitely looks better to me—assuming that it's okay to use almost a full comic strip.

I am of the opinion that panel 3 should be included. It shows the critical moment of the birth of life.

Might as well be the whole strip IMO.

I think 1 adds a lot more text than content compared to 2.

Well, it's not the whole strip, which makes it okay to use. We can't use the whole strip, so I don't understand the complaint.
