Jeph, you should appreciate constructive criticism; it means that your readers care. I posted initially because I was curious about how other readers were feeling with the plot of late, but apparently constructive criticism isn't appreciated and that topic is locked now.

I really like the comic and when I StumbledUpon it recently I read through the entire thing in a pretty short amount of time. On one hand, I like the new characters, but it almost feels like there's something missing in terms of them being integrated into the comic as a whole. Your art is still really good, but it's taken an anime feel recently and I liked your 'normal' style of drawing better. I'm not expecting your style to change or anything, because I understand that as an artist your style is going to evolve and change over time. I was just throwing that out there, in terms of how the comic has changed. 

If this topic stays open I would be interested in what the other readers think about the current plot, etc :)

jeph:
Constructive criticism and complaining are not the same thing.

I should add: the focus of the comic HAS shifted (or rather, broadened) over the years. It will probably continue to do so, because that is where New Ideas lie. Believe me, you really would not enjoy me belaboring the marten/Faye/Dora dynamic more than I already have. I'm not Charles Schulz, Charlie is not going to continue to try and kick the football for the next twenty years. Judging by the ridiculously overwhelming (and frankly unexpected) positive response to the newer characters (hanners, Wil, marigold, etc) I
am fairly confident I am moving in the right direction. There will always be a place for marten in the comic, I am not through with him by any means. But he is less of an epicenter than he used to be- to the comics benefit, in my opinion.

Also people have been complaining about the pacing of the "main plot" (which actually does not really exist, it is really just a long-term framework for future story arcs) literally since day ten. To which I always respond: if you don't like the way I'm doing my comic, just don't read it. I seem to be doing just fine carrying on as I please.

WoweeZowee:
You say just stop reading if someone doesn't exactly like the turn it's taken, but I've spent hours and hours reading your comic over the years (because I like it so much), don't just want to give up on it.

schmeeble:
I keep reading because I'm curious about where you're going to take it next. :) I didn't mean to come off as complaining, either, and for that I apologize.
