Lutz's method: draw a base ("key") sketch of the figures, draw the two extreme positions of the action on separate pegged sheets, then draw the intermediate position over them. He says one drawing between extremes can do for a swift comic action, and a slower action should have at least three; the head-turn illustration repeats that scale. He allows rough drawing of some in-betweens when the action is quick. His terms are "key sketch", "extreme" and "intermediate/in-between"; "breakdown" does not occur anywhere in the text.

Curator qualifications: Key, extremes, then in-betweens on pegged sheets; number of in-betweens set by speed of action.
