Then it's not a comic, it's just the word "minimum" written in calligraphy.

And nothing of substance would be lost, that's the point.

"This ~~meeting~~ comic could've been an ~~e-mail~~ image."

That's true of most comics, really. Most of them could have been books. Or lines in a joke book. Transitioning to a visual medium is simply one method of telling jokes. You don't have to do anything any specific way at all.

But without context that makes no sense unless you're really into calligraphy

So you don't see the characters, you don't see the misunderstanding that it isn't a fence, and you don't find out that he is doing calligraphy. Do know it says 'minimum' though.

That doesn't really seem like a comic strip to me
