do you make some kind of script before drawing comics? your work's visual composition is so good
No formal script. I find it limiting to work with a script doc because I always go back and change/reorder things around. It's much easier for me to work on dialogue and visual content in tandem with figuring out panels.
I generally do a structure of beginning/set-up, middle content block, and end/punchline and layer them on a page.

It makes writing and reading a very short one-page story very easy and fun, while giving it a distinct compositional style. You see this structure used a lot in bigger C&H strips (but Watterson often takes it a step further by including a cold open joke in the beginning block). He'll often dedicate the entire first row of panels to set-up and negative space.
