She said a goodbye a week or two back.Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:58:10 GMTawillishttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic29136-9-1.aspxVERY Interesting! That is a new one to me! But then again, ever since I found <A href="http://www.comics.com">http://www.comics.com</A> and I don't get a newspaper on a regular basis anymore!.(about 10 years now!) </P><P> I stick to just about reading the ONLY comic strip that entertains me anymore "Get Fuzzy".</P><P>But kudos to her for doing something different within the media! Change is good!</P><P>-FBTAFri, 12 Sep 2008 22:25:04 GMTfirebirdtahttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic29136-9-1.aspxHer art has gained a more refined look. Great brushwork now. The older stuff has a feel of experimentation to it. It is a neat way to keep in the paper using older stuff mixed with newer. I, as a cartoonist trying to break into a diminishing market, feel a sort of resentment. Give the rest of us a break and shut down the strips that are not new.:DMon, 18 Aug 2008 13:57:19 GMTawillishttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic29136-9-1.aspxI find that method more interesting than traditional comic retcons.</P><P>At some point, the stories and strips lose something as the characters get older. I think that's one of the problems with even trying to 'age' the characters.</P><P>If you look at some of the 'classic' strips, like Peanuts, Garfield, Family Circus, etc, the artists haven't tried to create a 'universe' for their characters to grow in....they simply tell a new story every time. That even works on TV...look how well the Simpsons has done without 'aging' the characters.</P><P>Another strip I have become disappointed in is Funky Winkerbean.....that is one I used to enjoy as a child, but it has become tired and lifeless as the characters have grown up.</P><P>Anyway, I think it's a good idea.......and probably something that others should do with their strips....</P><P>Thanks for the article, Shadow....shows that 'comic books' aren't the only ones that have to do restarts every once in a while.Sun, 17 Aug 2008 17:37:42 GMTargushttp://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic29136-9-1.aspxInteresting way to mix in repeats...;)</P><P><A href="http://www.fborfw.com/news/003347.php">http://www.fborfw.com/news/003347.php</A>Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:38:05 GMTShadow
