Ditto to what the others are saying: the art looks really amazing in this. Nice job.
workingrobbie:
Liking the art too :) especially the front on of Dora in the second panel.
Are their eyes slightly smaller, or am I just used to large eyed Hanners?
Also like the boob-squishy that Dora's giving Faye ;)

Very nice work as always Jeph, you put my pathetic scriblings to shame...

Dora's upward eye-roll in panel 2. Faye's face in panel 3 (hell, Faye's face through the whole strip). There's a new level of realism here, not only is Jeph trying poses and angles he's never approached (well, not in a finished strip), he's pulling it off with an artistic sensibility that puts the finest comics to shame!
Damn, it's not like the characters weren't real enough already for us to care about them, now he goes and does this!
A while ago some people compared his artwork to anime/manga. But he's gone waaaay beyond anything like that!
Jeph, if you read these, props to you! :where's the thumbs up smiley?:
squishything:
Ok, the direction the art is taking scares me exactly like the album cover to Revolver did when I was a kid (seriously, George Harrison's eyes still creep me out, I was only able to buy the album a few years ago because of them).
Nothing negative about it at all, it's a great leap forward in it's physical subtlety and demonstation of expresiveness, but my uncanny valley threshhold is pretty damn low, i guess.
I've noticed that the character's body proportions are a lot more realistic too. Does this mean that in like 3 weeks the strips will look like Garth Williams drawings?
maddness:
Wow. :-o This new thing Jeph is doing with the art is AWESOME! I love the faces and for some reason the shading on Dora's hair, especially in panel 3, is making me look at it again and again.
Plus, not we know what Faye's answer to Sven was!
