1. Miss the originality

   Sorry guy, but the allure and uniqueness that your prior style had was what was driving this strip, at least for me. Your ideas are fun, and you still can make me laugh, but sometimes now, like with this latest strip, a more heavy handed joke seems more forced when you use art that’s just like everyone else’s. Sorry to have to be blunt. Not quite sure how losing your originality for art “freed” you to be more creative, but then I admit that I am not an artist…

   First off, the name is jeremy not guy and if you’re going to talk down to me from the start, I will do the same…

   I’m glad I can still make you laugh, but the silhouettes were not original. They were a year and a half long jab at iPod commercials that aren’t around anymore.

   They’ve also had a long history in cartoons, one of the most notable users of silhouettes would be:

   I may have been the first to exclusively use silhouettes, but I highly doubt it. Perhaps not being an artist excludes you from trying to understand the subtle differences in “style” of a particular cartoon verses another but when you really get down to it, you’re reading a comic to get a laugh.

   It’s the classic battle of minimalism Vs. expressionism and I’m afraid in this day and age expressionism is winning for me.

   Maybe it feels less relatable to you because I fill in more of the details, maybe you actually are a silhouette, I have no idea. I make cartoons that make me laugh and that is all.

   If you absolutely need to feel connected in some way to this cartoon on any kind of level submit something using the form on the bottom right, at least that way there’s the illusion of connection.

   Your work is slowly becoming more and more realistic. Dare I say leaping off the page. Surely one day soon your loyal readers shall open their browsers and be accosted physically by the very creations that once made us laugh. Their humorous antics, satirical references, and cultural commentary used to rend unsuspecting purveyors of the internet limb from metaphorical limb.

   Or worse yet.. colored pannels *shudder*

   I beg you, stop this nightmare before it begins! It can only end in an unlikely collusion of hilarity and disaster.

   Or not, you know, since I’m also not an artist either.

   Please don’t hurt me

   Hey man. Just sayin’, I’m all for the change. At first though, I was actually on the fence. I loved the silhouettes, and was afraid it wouldn’t be a welcome change, but I do love the current art. I realised It’s all in how the jokes are told.. If you make me laugh, you win. If the art compliments the joke, then it doesn’t matter how its drawn, and nobody would notice anything if it was never the same style. You could draw in nothing but red crayon, but if it fits, thats really all that is important.

   A change in style (no matter if you are an artist, a musician, or a writer … anyone who is creative for a living?) is always fun. As a DJ and an artist, I always try to explore these changes. Maybe this is a step into somewhere you really wanted to go all along, and I applaud you at being able to jump over the boundaries and the monotony of keeping the same style for more than a year. Tough thing to get past. Your group of readers may change, but it feels like you know exactly what you’re doing here. The all penis background showed confidence that through the change, if people liked your stuff, they will continue to like it.
   You’re still the same writer, still making funny comics, still at the same webpage.

   I guess what I’m trying to say here is…
   I dig the new stuff.

   wow, so much polarization, I love it. If I could start making this cartoon leap off the page and accost every viewer I would. Don’t act like you wouldn’t love it.

   Colored panels… oh noes!!!!

   I guess everyone is really still getting to know me as an artist / cartoonist / person. I’ve always been as much into destroying as I am into creating. Once something settles too comfortably into a routine I want to change it. The fact that I’ve lived in 9 different apartments in 8 years is a testament to that.

   I’m glad there’s oldschool WTTF fans that still dig the new style. I’d still be doing it regardless but it makes me even happier now.

   You guys get to say you liked it before, when it was just silhouettes, which makes you look cool with the ladies (or men if you prefer).

   The new style caught me off guard, but it’s still a great comic.
