I think looking at comics and converting that to cinema is an interesting way to manipulate time. It makes sense to me that long wide panels, converted into cinema, could be a shot that pans from left to right. Same thing with a small panel in a comic. Translating that into cinema could be a still shot. Looking at the first strip with the uncle taking a picture I imagine, if translated into cinema, the camera would start off on the uncle and move right because that’s how you read comics and that’s how the story progresses as far as the dialogue. This part of the comic almost reminds me of a scene from home alone, except in the home alone scene the camera pans from right to left instead of the other way around. If this scene were translated from cinema into a comic, I think it would unfold similar to the way the comic panel does.
