October Discussion Thread

[TheoGB]

Err, October discussion thread time, guys?

[Owen]

Theo I hope you don't mind, I used your post to start the thread off. This way you get the credit for remembering what date it is

So, to the discussion! Today's page: I continue to be impressed with Gordito. He learns quickly and well.

[CheeseWhisper]

Let's hear it again for Gordito!

Would Doc say "dude" like that? Is he unwittingly becoming more radical?

[TheoGB]

Well I'm on a music forum. And everyone was checking that people woke Billie Joe up...

Incidentally, am I wrong to say the inking has been 'scrappy' for this week's pages?

[Owen]

I hadn't noticed myself, but if that's the case it may be because Dr Hastings is still learning to cope with the added burden of inking the comics himself? I wouldn't blame him!

[mikekearn]

It does remind me of the earlier comics, or the occasional one where he'd take over the job from Kent. I just don't think Hastings is as good at inking as Kent is, but I'm sure since he's doing it for every comic now that he will improve over time.

[captaiN]

Wait, when did he enter that random house?

[Owen]

Sometime while Chuck was asleep, apparently...

I guess I just find it odd because Kent's been absent since the end of 'Gets Rad' and I hadn't noticed really with the other pages. But as mikekearn this has looked more like the famous pane that Kent refused to ink from D.A.R.E. I guess he must be really busy just now.

I think Doctor Hastings just has other things on his mind.

I thought the B&W art for 'Stolen Pizza-Stolen Lives' was awesome, but that was only five pages. Maybe it's just the amout of labor he's looking at that is unnerving.
