Toth famously said " Strip it down to the essentials and Draw the hell out of what's left". Calling something "simple" because of a lack of (over)rendering implies that less lines = less work. Here's Toth keeping it Simple

Comics people: What are some comics/graphic novels that you would consider structurally or formally MUSICAL? Think of the way a comic uses rhythm, or has very deliberate pacing towards a climax, or recurring motifs and ideas. Not necessarily comics about music/musicians.
