**The "no format" of webcomics is it's own subject. I am forefronting the WhatThingsDo aesthetic because it jibes closely with the current wide screen tv screen / movie screen aesthetic. I understand that most webcomics are thinner and incorporate headings, sidebars, etc - in that case one would "find the square" and create a system of periodicity for the scroll. See this post about scrolling.
===================
I think the most basic choices however are these three -in order of size:
manga (basically same size as most paperbacks) 5 x 7.5 inches
north american comic book (same ratio as digest zine) 6.5 x 10.25 inches
magazine size (basically the same as French BD) 8.5 x 11 inches - varies slightly
======================
But lets look at all of them:
