All of the images are photographs, and all of the text is typeset in a black courier font and placed across the photos in thin white caption boxes shaped to the words-as if each phrase has been hand cut from a newspaper like a ransom note. Most follow the standard newspaper comic strip format of three square panels arranged in an even row, though some are instead double rows of six-sort of like Sunday editions.
Anatomy of Melancholy: The Best of a Softer World features roughly 230 of the 1,248 comics archived on the website.
