"The Intensity of the Presentation V.S. Story"

I found both of these concepts interesting, in Scott McCloud's "Making Comics." In the section entitled "Writing with Pictures," he goes into depth about how the organization of how the panels are presented can play a huge role in the comic's genre. Action sequences tend to have dynamic, faster paced panels and sequences, while 'daily gag' style comics can be much more simple and basic, often relying on story or clever wordplay, characters, jokes and puns. Whether we see the sequence up close or pulled out can totally effect the mood of the comic. I would guess that it might have something to do with how the comics are produced.
Daily newspaper comics are on a much shorter production schedule, since they were pumped out as quickly as possible. They had to be snappy and to the point, but interesting enough to catch the eye of a random reader, glancing through the funnies. Meanwhile, the dynamic staging and style of faster paced action comics, which makes me think of the superhero genre, are competing with a multitude of other comics on the shelf. Its much more of a visual contest, to which cover stands out the most, and who's pages are the most eye catching to a kid quickly flipping through them. Each target a pretty different demographic, but still manage to find an audience and remain interesting.
