Years ago I redrew this strip for a pal who wanted to buy an original strip, but I didn’t sell original It’s Walky! art, and so I just redrew it. So have both versions, why not.
I preferred the way the characters were drawn around this time. Not to say his current art is at all bad, of course, I just preferred it to the squashed look they have going on now.
I think that is to show he is ‘twirling’ the ruler like a baton?
I like the early art myself, keeping in mind that most of the characters look like children.
Sal and Joyce look about 12 where as Jason about 18.
Heh, you were ahead of IDW’s game by introducing new errors into the redraws! (‘Intrepid’ –> ‘Interpred’, unless Interpred is like Interpol… for Predators…)
I have a soft spot for the mid-00s art style too – as well as, not instead of, the current style, which is obviously way further on in every technical level. Late IW!/J&W! Joyce may be my favourite Joyce, aesthetically, though she might as well be a completely separate character.
Say, I got another entry in my RSS feed for a comic called “Ring”, but I’m getting a 404 when trying to follow the link. Is that just tomorrow’s comic that got the RSS sent early, or should I be able to view that?
Inb4 comments about two eyes on one side of the face.
maybe that’s just one eye and a big freckle
Dammit, I was going to say how much Walky looked like a flounder…now I don’t look near as clever….
Nono, a flatfish.
I still think your 2003 – 2007 art was the best. It had lots of style and personality, and the characters looked more realistically proportioned.
You do realize during this same era Joyce’s arms and waist were about the same width, right?
This is what I’m talking about.

Nacho nacho man!
I want to be a nacho man!
Curse you! Beat me to the punch.
What do you call a man that isn’t yours?
He is either passing the ruler back and forth between hands with each train of thought, or he is holding two rulers to dual-wield imaginary rifles.
I choose to believe the latter.

No, like. It is in his left hand in panel 1, his right in panel 2, and his left again in panel 3.

Spoils it, or makes it way better? For serious, Walky, go grab a real plasma cannon.
Nacho Nacho man
He wants to be a nacho man

Everyone wants to be nacho!
