What do you mean, sloppy?

A ramble refers to a small comic book.

It is a new comic genre derived from four-grid comics. It is a horizontal or vertical cartoon, with no limit on the number of squares, and the content is a small cartoon with a story.

A rambling close-up

Compared with the past page rambling, the page rambling is simpler in creation, and the typesetting method of straightforward description omits the steps such as splitting the mirror, which greatly reduces the creative threshold.

The presentation is similar to the past four-grid comics. If the comic cells of four-cell comics are arranged vertically, they can be converted into a rambling format. Different from four-grid comics, the content of comic books can be extended indefinitely, not limited to four pictures.

Because of the convenience of comic creation, many items are topical creations of current events (commonly known as paragraphs), which are similar to the role of traditional satirical cartoons.

The rambling format is suitable for fragmented reading, which is convenient for its spread and browsing on online social platforms.

Different from the traditional marketing model of comic book publishing industry, most of the creators of comic books publish their works for free on the online social platform or online comic book platform, and make profits through advertising or sponsorship. At the same time, the creators of comic books have more contact with the public than traditional cartoonists, and can directly establish readers through their own works, rather than relying on comic magazines or online comic platforms, and can create relatively freely.
