Look, we're all young and hip here [laughs nervously], but the truth is that the soap opera strips are a very traditional medium and it's fine when they rely on very traditional visual tropes. For instance, "This guy is having a hard time and we need an efficient way to convey that visually. How about we just have him pour himself a big honkin' glass of brown liquor, in mid-conversation? We've got two panels and I think that'll do it."
