Bill Watterson actually expressed his disappointment with this strip because the fixed panel layout wasted a lot of space at the top while making the lower part very crowded. The fixed panel layout was for the benefit of newspapers who might rearrange the panels to fit their papers and often excluding the top row entirely.

He was eventually able to negotiate with his publishers to get a fixed size layout for his later Sunday strips.
