Peter Richter were also special for me since, I know Dr. This is a good one. It’s interesting to see that this change occurred just about 6 months or so after production artboard sizes were reduced (issue #146), as the smaller artboard size would tend to encourage less text and detail—and therefore less story—on each page, requiring more pages to tell the same amount of story (though ultimately, page count may have also been a key factor)..
