gag scenes


Explanation:
I'm thinking it could be talking about writing up gag scenes, meaning gags that carry on over several 'boxes' in the comic strip (don't know what the technical word for those comic strip 'boxes' is!).

gag storyboards


Explanation:
I think "storyboard" comes from the field of cinema but can be used for comics too.
