Aziraphale:
Finally realized what Marigold's new appearance reminds me of.

Tell your friend that a new relationship is exciting and great but that's no reason to completely abandon your friends? Yes, yes it is something you get to (and should) do to a person.

The person who demands your attention at the expense of an exciting new relationship isn't your friend and never was. They're just a selfish person who doesn't care about your feelings. If the relationship was months old they might have a point, but at this early stage, it's normal to want to spend all your time with the person you're dating. Those first few weeks of inseperability are precious.
Remember how slow QC time goes? How long d'ya thing Mari's been dating Dale? I'm thinking it's been maybe three weeks, probably less. If you're not spending all your free time with someone new when the relationship is only three weeks old, you probably just aren't that into them. After twice or three times that amount of time it is good to emerge and see your friends again, who (if they are reasonable, and actually care about you) will have made allowances, just as you have or would for them.

Or, you know, someone unexperienced with having friends. Particularly friends getting into relationships.
Hanners has seen what? Two couples in her circle of friends get together? Marten+Dora and Faye+Sven (and the latter hardly counts as your stereotypical couple)? She most certainly never experienced the stage you describe herself and can judge only from the limited observance she has plus whatever cultural osmosis she had (which at this time probably amounts to Magical Love Gentlemen, which might not discuss the problem at all.)
Hanners is clingy and suffering from divorce child syndrome, yeah. Selfish and not a friend*? Hardly.
*Disclaimer: You of course can pick your friends however you like, and if Hanners' behavior would disqualify her from being your friend, so be it. I am trying to explain why someone would disagree.

--- End quote ---
The redrawn strips were done because he had lost the high-res copies that were needed for satisfactory printing. He redrew them in his current style because, well, that's how he then drew.
Shadic:
I'm pretty meh on the art right now. I'm sure he could clean it up quite a bit (And hopefully make Marigold look less like Bugs Bunny), but the last few comics themselves have been very uninteresting as well.
Granted, Marigold and Hanners have turned into some of my least favorite characters at this point (And comics exclusively featuring them is a big reason why), but I guess we'll see.
No hate, just hope things change. Also wish Jeph best of luck with the doc, hopefully it helps.
