ART
bicostp:
Dora's eyes kinda look weird in the last panel of #1497.
Props to Jeph for trying different things though; there's a lot of comic artists out there who just stick with the same drawing style for years on end and never change.

I kinda miss that too. It looks like he tried it with #1496 (look at Hannelore's left eye) but left it out of the final product. It may or may not fit in with the latest style revision (gonna have to try some Photoshoppery to see what it looks like), but it's just one of those little details you don't really notice much until it's gone.

Dora's face in panel two has some issues coordinating the perspective-sizing with the angles of her nose and mouth, but Faye's face in panel 3 looks pretty awesome. Overall, I think it's much better, and far more unique.

I wholeheartedly agree. Jeph's definitely got that sneering "[sarcasm]" face down perfectly.
I also just noticed: Dora seems to be administering hug therapy to both sides of the breakup.
There's one more thing that I can't quite put my finger on. You can see it in the whole of 1497, it just pleases the eye more than the earlier comics somehow. Maybe it's the shape of their heads? The refined hair detail? There's just something that makes it feel more... real.

I agree. I went back to compare 1497 with 1494. If you look at them side by side, Faye's mouth, and eyes to a lesser extent, are a bit smaller in the newer one, and which creates a slightly more realistic proportion for her face. That may not be entirely it, but it's part of it.

It's most evident by the faces; I can see that Hannelore's eyes are smaller, and so are Faye's and Dora's. That, or the irises are larger. Hanners' hair also looks less foofy and more tangly, and she's even got a new nose!

down this road madness lies
no seriously the new touches look very good and i think they are a logical extension of jeph's own style and i am proud of him in a strange way that utterly defies the mentor/catamite relationship we have

I also like the new QC art. I really liked Hannelore's downward tilt in 1496, but Dora's eyes in the last panel of 1497 give me the jibblies.
