A Comic Book/Comic Strip/Manga/Webcomic panel takes on an irregular shape as a form of Painting the Medium. (Many of the same effects can be used on Speech Bubbles, only from a default shape of round.) The simplest form is to depict something protruding from it in the Frame Break — but anything 2D is possible. There are a thousand ways to do this, and a million reasons. To represent the passage of time. A four-panel newspaper strip might go like this... First panel: Alice says something weird.; Second & Third panel combined into one double-sized panel: Alice and Bob stare at each other.; Last panel: Bob calls Alice a weirdo. (In this case, the long panel represents a long pause.) A full page in a comic might depict someone jumping out a window. The page will be divided into narrow vertical panels depicting stages of the character's fall. (Here, the narrow panels indicate that the action is happening very quickly.) Two events are happening simultaneously in different places. Two triangular panels joined along their hypotenuses depict the events. "Pop-up" panels around a central illustration might depict different characters' reactions. To visually reinforce the action. An explosion might be depicted in a jagged, pointy... umm... explosion-shaped panel. If broken glass is involved, the panels might be shaped like jagged fragments of broken glass. The path of a bullet might be drawn in a panel which spans the page left-to-right, but only occupies a small amount of vertical space. A character picking a lock might be depicted in a key-shaped panel. To reinforce a character's thoughts, the theme of a conversation, or a theme of the work in general. A character who is very angry might be drawn in... err... a jagged, explosion-shaped panel. Two characters flirting might be drawn in a heart-shaped panel. A situation involving recursion or infinite regress might be drawn as panels within panels, getting smaller to the point of invisibility. To break up visual monotony. This is at least part of the reason for probably 95% of oddly shaped panels. Depending on how they are juxtaposed, can make following the sequence difficult, since there may not be a left-to-right (or right-to-left in manga), top-to-bottom order. Sometimes panels are even "superimposed" as if they were on top of each other; this is commonest in the Sub-Trope Speech-Bubbles Interruption, where it is used to show talking over each other. |

Sleepless Domain: Partway into Chapter 12, the panels begin to crack around the edges whenever Tessa is on panel, reflecting her stressed mental state and growing worse as she continues to spiral. Some panels also have a rough brush stroke effect around the edges to reinforce this. It returns to normal when she visits the Memorial, reflecting how she wants to be alone. The effect shows up again periodically, such as during her tense conversation with Undine at the graveyard, and her confrontation with the Purple One that finally pushes her to the Despair Event Horizon. | |

Frank Quitely often experiments with odd panels, for example he will occasionally make the panel the literal fourth wall of a room. In WE 3, he gets really inventive with sequences using a large panel with a series of tiny panels showing all the small details of the scene layered on top of the larger panel, or in one sequence he tilts a series of panels sideways as a character is moving through them, and its awesome looking. | |

Will Eisner's The Spirit may be the Ur-Example of using unusual page layouts to visually reinforce story elements. This series invented many of the techniques mentioned above; indeed, much of the visual vocabulary of action-oriented comics can be traced to The Spirit. Only Orson Welles' film Citizen Kane is comparable in its acknowledged influence over an entire medium. | |

In part one of Maus, when Vladek sees a pair of Nazis up and shoot somebody in the street for the first time, he is depicted panicked looking, in a Star of David shaped panel, emphasizing his vulnerability, as a Jew, in how to respond. If he ran, he singles himself out as a target, if he stays, he could be caught up in a broader pogrom. | |

Sluggy Freelance switches from its usual rectangular panels to slightly irregular, smooth-sided ones when depicting Gwynn's demon-possessed dream sequences. These are also surrounded by border text, usually the repetition of Arc Words, but occasionally the panel boundaries open slightly and the border text nearby changes to reveal a meta-clue. | |

In Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire, planar or psychic magic is shown via unusual panels. If an extraplanar entity is spying on the cast, he will show up outside the panel. When Dominic went to the elemental plane of destruction, his progress was shown as a panel getting periodically blasted and damaged. Most recently, when the King held the demiplane with Nimmel on it hostage, he elbowed the panel, which then chipped away at the demiplane. In that same battle, the fight taking place on two planes is shown by the King reaching from one panel to the other. | |

The Death of Superman comics, in 1992, has a very interesting example. It starts by the wake of Doomsday, who then starts attacking everything in sight, until Superman arrives. Then Doomsday focus on him only, and they start fighting, without dialogue (since Doomsday can't talk at all and won't stop its attacks), each page having 8 panels. The next issue was more pure fight, with each page having 7 panels. Then 6, then 5, and so on. The last issue, then, is composed only of single-panel pages of Supes and Dooms beating the crap out of each other, and in the last one both of them die. | |

The Order of the Stick This strip organizes panels along a twisty tunnel, with the bumpy sides being two sides of the panel. Thog lampshades this in a much later strip. A swirl of panels is used to indicate what a person with Mind-Control Eyes is thinking. The first several comics have crooked divider lines than run past each other, as though they were sloppily drawn in freehand. These were abandoned fairly early, and changed to a traditional form in the print version with an author's note that he has no idea what he was thinking when he used them. |

When he draws Detective Comics, JH Williams III divides the Batwoman segments from the ones focusing on Kate Kane by giving Kate standard panel layouts while Batwoman's scenes feature all manner of Odd Shaped Panels, from jagged-edged starbursts to fight scenes shown entirely in panels shaped like lightning bolts. In Detective Comics (Rebirth), both Eddie Barrows and Alvaro Martínez use such panelling as an homage to Williams, since Batwoman is a starring character in the series. |

Gunnerkrigg Court: Here, and a trapezoidal one here. The comic very often skews the panel borders during action scenes. Etheric views usually have non-typical panel appearance, such as all melded together with objects (usually Annie's hair) serving as visual separators, or one panel as a background and others on top of it. | |

Girl Genius. Examples here, here, and here. Not just oddly shaped panels. Phil Foglio's many tools include overlays in sequence or to indicate relationships (or here and here) and perspective that would be done with sequential shots in cinema. Another use, to similar effect. He also carries 'effects' noises and speech bubbles across panels. |

Shiawase Tori-mingu: The series is a Yonkoma, but it frequently breaks the four-panel layout for artistic effect.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure uses a lot of slanted panels. The end of Part 5 gets especially hectic. Though he makes pretty good use out of this. Instead of entire panels to show character reactions like he did before part 4, he later uses only small, circular panels to show character reactions, possibly a lampshading of how quick such reactions would be in real life, therefor it'd be just as quick to look at them. | |

Ava's Demon is usually one square panel, but one is split, slantwise, to show two different characters at once. When Ava seems to split, so to does the panel, "superimposed" on each other, with others slanting, or a frame break, finally subsiding to a panel with a bulging side as she pulls together. |

The panels of Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name are very frequently irregularly-shaped (check out the center bottom panel here) or overlapping. It fits with the high-energy feel of the comic and its manic protagonist. An even more dramatic example comes when Hanna counts to three: 1, 2, 3. |

In Yokoka's Quest, every two-page spread features at least one borderless panelnote This is a lot more apparent in book form than when viewing only one page at a time online.

Pearls Before Swine does this a lot. Normally the strip uses square panels — but when it parodies/references The Family Circus, it often switches to that strip's circle panels. Because of the strip's propensity for Breaking the Fourth Wall, characters often step outside the panels, damage the panels, etc. |

In Detective Comics (Rebirth), both Eddie Barrows and Alvaro Martínez use such panelling as an homage to Williams, since Batwoman is a starring character in the series. | |

Dreamkeepers Prelude Warped squares, with nicks Warped sides, and ovals, and without borders. Larger and smaller for conversation across a door, to indicate inside and outside. Little scenes overlapping the large one |

MegaTokyo: trapezoids Non-rectangular panels are rare, but more recently, floaty-freeform-layout panels superimposed on a partial background have become the norm. Tilted panels show up occasionally in action scenes, such as the "Kyaaa!" panel here. |

Shows up quite a bit in Shy, usually in ways thematically relevant to when they're used. For instance, when Shy and her allies shatter a dome of darkness that had surrounded part of Tokyo, the panels are drawn as a sun emanating rays of light. | |

The first couple of issues of ElfQuest drawn by Wendy Pini almost exclusively used rectangular panels, but by issue #4 she was starting to experiment with more ambitious layouts. | |
