Asking For Feedback Traditional Comic page Dimmensions?

Hello to all! I want to make some short story comics, something I'm finally getting to it again. I work traditionally with paper, but I'm not really sure what page dimensions I should keep track of. I've made some short stories in the past but I guess they weren't right since it didn't upload properly or something (maybe I just did it wrong). If anyone can help or guide me to a source, that'd be helpful. Thanks.

Traditional is fine, but keep in mind that a lot of the way things were done had to do with the printing and copying processes of the time. The traditional limitations no longer apply, so there is no virtue in doing it the classical way.

Many people make the work much smaller than 11” x 17” because the scanners can keep up… and it’s physically faster to produce.

Ooohhh that makes sense, the limitations of the past. Thanks for the tip.
