I love a good delayed reaction. If I had more time, this one would’ve lasted at least another eight panels.
Also, fine, you win THIS round, internet. I won’t screw with the art style again, at least, not quite so drastically. You were right, of course: this DOES look better, and certainly has more variety in figures and facial features. I was just trying to take the easy way out, even if that isn’t always the BEST way. So thanks for politely complaining about it.
Oh, and I’m gonna update MESS on Friday this week as well. One a week isn’t cutting the mustard for me.
Note For New Archive Readers: The above comment won’t make sense to you, as the context under which it was written no longer exists. That said, I still love you. Thanks for reading my comic.

oh ok, missed the one where they made up in the classroom. just looked like it went from him running to Mar’s 2 dads
is this an actual canon comicn or just another throw in joke or guest comic?
These are all canon. They just aren’t part of any larger storyline.
What’s with the not really there goatee? What happened to Rule #4?

I’m pretty sure he just hasn’t shaved that morning yet.
AHHHHH I LOVE YOU. My eternal devotion is yours! There’s not very much representation of us ladies with something extra in comics, especially not in a context of desirability, so THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THIS.
So much caps lock, because my excitement, it is too much.
Thanks! Excitement like that is why I keep drawing.
I’m guessing that, because of the decoration in panel three, our gal Mary Elizabeth is a Disney fan.
Yay! They have FINGERS again! Thank you thank you thank you!
YAAAAAAYY. As someone who’s read everything you’ve done, Mr. Troutman (though not all of lit brick) I love the new art style. Still, must the sporkman-esque #106 be banished to obscurity? I think for that strip specifically it worked well. Also, I’m agreeing with Daphnaie as far as the status of having multiple dads.
Maybe he could reinsert it as 106a and the new one could be 106b?
That way all of the archive bingers could experience drastic change and thus know the true relief of seeing the art style return to being as contextually and truly awesome as it was and is.
Clarify: not dissing on chibi style, just saying that in the context of this comic it’s not as awesome as the current style.
Thank you, Troutman. We still love you.
… So, divorces and remarriages or gay dads?
I assumed it was divorces after the second panel, but I’d guess it’s gay dads given the punchline.
Then this begs a “Meet the parents” bit.
Neither Basil nor yourselves know for sure yet!
