I mean, how drunk would you have to be before this agreeing to something like this?
--- End quote ---
Was she drunk? If that's the case, then it makes it a little more plausible. If she wasn't(and I know Sweet Tits isn't exactly a deep character or anything) it just doesn't seem in-character for her to fall for something like that (especially 30 times...for no particular reason other than to amuse the author of the strip).
But even if *I* didn't like it, I'm so glad someone can actually tell me why they do (i.e. the zippo in the talons/scorch marks) rather than just 'it's just funny!'.
Chipmissioner:
I liked the original the most. I liked the little talons clutching the lighter. I thought ST's angry face was absolutely perfectly drawn. And honestly, I think it fit in better with the overall concept of what ST has been so far, and her interactions with Yelling Bird.
The new one's not bad. I think if it were the original, no one would be saying it was "dumb" or "lame" (although to be fair, the whole trajectory issue does bother me a little bit, but whatever).
If Jeph changed it because of his own feelings on the original, than none of us have any real reason to tell him to change it back (as some, but not all, have done). No artist should have to keep up a drawing they personally are not comfortable with, and if that's the case I actually applaud Jeph for sticking with what he personally thinks is right...it takes some balls to admit you crossed over your own boundaries.
Heliphyneau:
I think the "shock value" was sort of the point of the first version of Friday's b-day strip. I was surprised that he changed it, but no biggie -- it's his prerogative anyway. Maybe Jeph's new criteria for strips is "Would I want this in one of my books?"
The Duke:
The original made me uncomfortable, and it seemed out of character for her.
Guys, in the end, it's Jeph's comic and he is going to do what he wants. (This is not a bad thing.) I can't think of a time when people complaining on the forums ever convinced him to do anything.
Carl-E:
If we're not going to complain, then what the heck are the forums for? I mean, I agree that pissing and moaning is not a means to an end.
Pissing and moaning is the end in and of itself...
