In relation to the comic reading about editing and gutters within frames in a comic, I came across this comic online and it made me immediately think of the difference between between having a large gap or gutter in between frames in a comic, or having the frames continue to link to one another, as a form of continuity editing. This comic includes small gutters between each frame, as these frames do not leave readers to wonder much about what occurs in the gutter, as every frame follows each other immediately. It is evident that some comic illustrates, writers or directors either want their viewers or readers to trust their work, and leave them to fill in the gaps or the gutters themselves, or the writers or directors would rather fill in the gaps or gutters, to ensure everything within the story is understood. This just enhances the fact that there are many types of editing, in both comics and film, even if this type of comic editing is not the most common, it is still very much used.
