There was going to be more dialogue here at first. But I did the thing again where I cut most of it. I don't want it to seem like I'm spelling everything out, even if it does make it a little more difficult to know exactly what the characters are thinking. I suppose it's good to leave some things to the imagination.
IMO, a good graphic novel does this, even if it leaves a reader puzzled. It forces the artist to express what's happening visually.
It also forces the reader to pay attention to the present while recalling what has gone on before.
