Right; good changes often happen that way. I'm so used to webcomics going through these shake-ups, that I would not have thought twice about it, but for the talk on the forum.

With a previous drawing style, yes (check the Chenobylore strip). But with the new drawing style, I have a hard time imagining Hanners going critical. She would just look cute.
Channelore HellicottAtham:
Hello. I am here to say that I am struggling to see past the new style enough to enjoy the story it tells. Fingers crossed this is just some fun and experimentation - it would be such a shame anyway to lose the quality of expression and personality Jeph's skills inject into his art by 'reverting' to a simpler style. It cheapens it in a way.. turns the story we've followed for years, the characters worth discussing enough to generate an entire forum of conversations, into merely.. cartoons.
Also the loose'n'easy style is at odds with the tone of the current strip. I know it's not something like Faye's father's death, nor Marten & Dora's breakup, but the loss of a friend (or, at least, the perception of loss) is acutely painful for anyone, let alone someone who so values human friendship as Hanners. Good friends are hard to find, and these are the first she's ever had; given we could realistically consider Marigold as her best friend, the neglect of this relationship by Marigold post-Dale must hurt. :cry:
Anyway, hello. :-)
snubnose:
To be honest, I havent even noticed the art changes much.
I mean sure they look different... but they look different all the time, so meh.
Also, still much better than anything I myself could ever manage (in probably 10 times the time it takes Jeph).
Now if Order of the Stick would change its artwork, that one would be much noticeable.

I look at the new comics and keep thinking "This is a nice guest strip" then I realise it's the art style now, so very strange.
