Sara comes back: "Hey guys, I'm back from my vacation/internship/near-death-experience, what'd I miss?"

It's solidified into a real curiosity with me; what would Sara look like today, in Jeph's massively-improved modern style?

J · « **Reply #5 on:** 12 Sep 2010, 18:45 »

as i understand it, he's redrawing the early strips for the book, so you may yet find out

tomart · « **Reply #6 on:** 12 Sep 2010, 18:48 »

Carl-E · « **Reply #7 on:** 12 Sep 2010, 19:32 »

He's only redrawing strips where the originals were lost, and they'll be side- by-side with the originals in the book. The first 5 strips are in those, but Sarah didn't show up until strip 9, and wasn't in a lot of strips, so the likelihood that she's been redrawn is pretty low...

Here's Jep's livejournal post explaining the redraws, with an example.

Whilst I applaud the sentiment - and welcome it as an opportunity to ensure that at the end of the day I get to tell Mrs. Reiver, "Honey, you won't believe the day I had..." I'm somewhat certain that the people who pay the bills (namely the taxpayers) may have something to say about it.

And Marten, whilst I recognize that if you're comfortable with it you can wear anything, are you certain that the belt goes with your outfit?

~~Schmorgluck~~ · « **Reply #16 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 05:06 »

Heh, I like it when Marten goes for the quirky.

Carl-E · « **Reply #17 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 05:22 »

Lord, save us from the cuteface of panel 5 4.

Amen.

Edit: Damn, damn, damn...

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #18 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 05:25 »

Marten in the last panel is my reaction to seeing him with The Belt.

For all the folks who wanted to see Marten wearing the Hello Kitty belt...I hope you're happy.

Panel 4 made me gay for Marten

So... does this qualify as Fan Service?

KingPellinore · « **Reply #22 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 05:33 »

After all that, no "Finally got into your pants." quip?

For shame, Marten. For shame...

raoullefere · « **Reply #23 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 05:35 »

Marten knows the secret of dressing cool: "Hey, whatever I select." Either that ir he wants to see Tai's reaction.

And folks, Trollstormur spotted a snipe, not a sniper. So calm down, getcha a big ol' bag, get set up in a ditch—you know, hunker down, hold it open, an' wait—an' Border an' me'll drive that thing straight to you.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #24 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 05:40 »

I prefer to drive things with more meat on them - moose, deer, my enemies...

"What is best in life?"

I could be wrong, because I'm too lazy to go look for it, but I think it was all of the first 50 and most of the first 100. So a newly-drawn Sarah would be in there.

foolsguinea · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 07:31 »

This is interesting. The part of their heads above their eyes is lower than last week. Are we witnessing a new art shift?

vettechinohio · « **Reply #30 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 07:43 »

I'm not really digging on how their hair is drawn today. Looks like they are both wearing hair colored/covered flat spikes on top of their heads.

jwhouk · « **Reply #31 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 07:53 »

As much as I will give you that Faye's hair looks a little strange today, the eyes thing is just way out there in left field.

vettechinohio · « **Reply #32 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 07:55 »

I'll give you that. Looks like their foreheads have shrunk.

Thousands of <a href=" http://www.ozarkhistory.com/snipes.html">snipe, er, hunters[/url] can't be wrong, can they?
Also, this fellow thinks you can indeed have a snipe without a sniper—at least, he prefers it that way.

You know that one goth kid on South Park, the one who always says, "Oh my god..."? That was my exact tone when I read the last panel.

intentionally cute vs. unintentionally cute.

No contest, unintentional wins every time! After all, if you're trying, should it even count?

I think puppy-dog-eyed begging like Marten's reviles me simply because it works so damn well...

I have daughters, you see.

themacnut · « **Reply #43 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 14:00 »

Ah Carl, those girls of yours basically own you don't they? Believe me I know...

raoullefere · « **Reply #44 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 15:07 »

I've looked at it a few times, and I still can't decide if I like that last panel or not. If not for the smile, Marten might be engaged in what Jonathon Swift's Gulliver called discharging "my body of that uneasy load." Also, it seems to have inflated his head.

I thought you were supposed to encourage your children to try. Unless, of course, you're using the word as a 'straight' adjective instead of a participle. Definitely no points should be awarded then.

I sense a great disturbance in the Farce, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. Hello Kitty has added QC to her dark empire.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #47 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 16:34 »

Akina you are absolutely right - daughters give you the opportunity to allow you to guide wonderful human beings in such a way as to make them true blessings to society.

And they give you a really sold reason to buy a shotgun so you can be the overprotective Dad.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #48 on:** 13 Sep 2010, 17:17 »

Oh dear. Shotguns are so cliché now. Way to live the stereotype!

The modern Overprotective Dad is, of course, all about the psychological warfare; nothing puts the Fear of Dad into a hormonal young man like waking up to find his favourite bike's piston-heads in bed with him...
