Okay, dude I'm not sure what you're really talking about here.
Okay, first thing that jumps out at me, you've got some lightbulb in the ceiling as the sole light source in your version, yet if you look it is clearly daylight outside the apartment. Light is coming from behind them and probably to the sides and in front as well. Also I'm not sure how you're getting the idea that making someones head look too large for their body makes people look tall and thin. The average person has about seven heads to their height, making someones head too large makes them look shorter; superman is drawn with eight or nine heads of height, for example, making his head look small and him taller. Anyway, your corrections on Jephs head sizes are wrong. You've made a classic anatomical mistake in your redline drawing, which is that you seem to be thinking of peoples hair as being part of their head, when you should be basing your proportions on their skull. If you shaved (Angus?)'s hair off his head would actually be about the same size as the head you've drawn, except not so monstrously squished and he would still have a neck. Same with (Penelope?) actually. If you shift the head you have drawn down it is the same size as Jephs. Look where the ears are. All you've down is draw out the neck and shift the waist to a weird position. If you're doing proportions off of head size the waist is a line across the top of the groin, where the legs meet the abdomen, rather than the thinnest point in the torso. Finally your point about line weights is a matter of style. Jeph could well be taking tips from one of the greatest comics artists of all time.
Jimmy the Squid:
At the risk of revealing that I actually regularly read the comics, that's Wil, not Angus.

Khar your point about Hergé is a little moot because as you can see, the only acceptable style of drawing is realistic. Tintin's hair? Not very realistic. Obviously Hergé did something wrong.
Phylter:
I would die laughing if it turned out to be Jeph pointing out things he -knows- he dosen't like about his style, just to see all of your reactions to someone critiquing his stuff.
That is all.
