Absolutely. Pretty much each one of his comics uses the right number of panels for the core idea, including the use of different sizes panels as necessary to improve the overall impact of each panel, and to control the pacing. Like this one.

That’s because he can draw with intricate detail when he chooses to, if the joke calls for it:

He even adds a ton of detail/shading to simple shapes to give it a more realistic look:

Or he sometimes juxtaposes simple facial expressions on more detailed drawings:

And it’s pretty great when he just adopts another art style:

He’s legitimately a great artist.
Yes, it’s even evident in the rendering of the backgrounds of this posts’ featured comic.
Also, he is a great writer with fantastic pacing.
His influence is well deserved but I wish people had maybe taken more from his work than, “oh, I can just draw white blobby guys?”
I dunno, maybe it’s fine & I’m just old & cranky.
