What's everybody's favorite "era", art-speaking?
jmucchiello:
In the last couple hundred strips, from 2000 to present, every character seems to have developed an overbite. Panel 4 of 2205 shows Marten and the new redhead in profile and I swear she looks like a rabbit. (Thus my "What's up, Doc?" comment in the WCDT thread.) I first noticed this trend in the Space stories. The change in style was not abrupt though and overbites exist pre-2000 but around 2000 is when they first began to become pronounced.
So while I'd like to say my favorite era is "current", I guess I'm actually more partial to the 1600-2000 era. It was the least cartoony.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan:
I logged in to comment on the same panel... that profile view actually makes me a little sick to my stomach. The rest of 2205 is fine, but man, that perspective really crystallizes my dislike of the very recent style: heads are very pointy.
My favorite era is 1500-1750 or so, maybe up to 1800.
Edit: I started reading around strip 1600, but I began by plowing through the entire archive in one or two sittings, so my sense of the 'end' of Jeph's art evolution solidified around 1650.

Well, the question was what's everybody's favorite, not what's objectively best. So I don't think saying that an older style was your favorite is the same as telling him he was better at his craft in the past.

Off-topic, but I was having a glance through 1, 100, 200, 300 to contrast and compare on this... and http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1400 struck me as quite the laugh given recent events, sure someone's already mentioned it somewhere though... :P
