Tim Hensley’s use of space in comics:

Tim’s sense of space seems to reference…a fundamental conceit of children’s humor comics of the mid-to-late 20th century….It features only the objects necessary for the gag –- and the figures and object appear almost to be suspended in space. Like these covers, Hensley’s approach in Gropius is to redefine and often erase the boundaries that separates interior and exterior — distinct dimensions in reality are replaced by a continuous field of color in his comic.
