Also known as a beat panel, indicating a silent beat in the flow of a comic.
The reason a lot of comics use it is because it is effective at providing the comedic timing pause before the delivery of a punchline. Which unfortunately has made it a bit of a cliché.
I'm going to be a bit more careful about this in the future, but sometimes you just gotta use it.
