DSL:
Are we confusing/conflating the layout of the page with the layout of this particular comic? Jeph's departed from the four-stack before, though not often. Sam chasing the snake comes to mind, as does speed-beer Hannelore. In both cases, the departure worked, as it does this time.

Agreed - a big part of the emotional punch of today's strip lies in the different way it's laid out, I think.

Yes, but the comic was still the same size. This one is wider and shorter.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Marigold's fear, in my opinion, is the cure. She's been using Momo as a crutch so she doesn't have to learn how to deal the whole "being a social person" thing, despite that being exactly what Momo has been trying (not so subtly) to teach her. While I hope they make up, I also hope that Momo gets her own apartment or something like that. Doing all the heavy lifting in arranging a reconciliation with Dale created a bad precedent.
Kugai:
Night terrors
And perhaps a damned good lesson.
