Featureless Void

Featureless Void

A common theme in comics where the characters or items appear to float in a (usually white) blank panel; a panel without context. This may be for stylistic reasons, due to the detail constraints of newspaper printing and space.

The term was brought to prominence by the Dysfunctional Family Circus, in derision of the cartooning style of Bil Keane.

Examples

*Dysfunctional Family Circus
