I thought that was rather clever of DCS to go back to the early 98 strip style...

I still like the old character designs better. I especially dont like Ozys legs...his legs look like brooms, theyre so thin.<br><br>The last panel looks a little different from his early designs, though. Millie has too much chin, and Ozy has like...no neck at all. His body isnt far back enough too, its like hes leaning backwards or something...you can sorta tell because I dont think the tip of his foot used to end THAT far past his nose, if you were to draw a straight line from his foot down. Or maybe it did. I dunno. But you have to admit, where his chin meets his chest looks a little off.

The imperfection, a hallmark of the style back then, is intentional.

After studying the picture a little more, I made some edits to the previous post. It looks like he's leaning backwards, not forwards...and I still think his neck is off. I'm looking at one from 1999, and it's definitely different. The only problem I had with 1998 is that the lines looked too sketchy, they weren't defined enough.<br><br>So...are you saying you made the last panel look kinda bad on purpose or what?<br><br>And I'm not one for apostrophes, you can have 'em.

That would be the joke, yes.

Oh...well, I was under the impression that he thought that even if he just drew them normally with the old designs they would look bad just because they're old designs, and didn't bother <i>actually</i> trying to make it look bad even though they looked a little off anyways. Silly me.
