If I had the money, this would be so bought.

Wow, Loving the new Strip's layout! Also, Really awesome Backgrounds he did there!

[Mista_B]

Wow.

So... so clear. How did he do that? Are the characters larger, individually? The frames are at least a third larger.

It looks so clean, the lines, the detail. The brushwork really show's its strengths here, instead of being confined to the old tiny panels.

I think O&M just got a much welcomed upgrade.

*stares at it awhile, not even reading the text*

Oh hey, text. Hah! Heh, and here I thought Millie would enjoy a bit of weedy mayhem. Ah. I see. It's a chore. If her mom had told her "don't mess with the weeds!" she would have destroyed them with glee.

Glee!

I'm really liking this new format! As B has said, the detail is amazing...Millie's expressions are expertly done.

Panel 3 anyone?

[Kyler Thatch]

I really like that close-up of Millie, there's a whole new level of detail on the facial expression that you don't get to see often, given the usual size of comic strips.

[CodeCat]

I like the new format! A lot! It's clearer, bigger, and it looks more interesting too.

And the strip is good, too.

Ms.Mudd is engaged in ethnic cleansing?.... “All Hail Ms.Muddâ€

Not only are we selectively "weeding out" (hurr) the ones we don't happen to like, we seem to be specifically picking on the hardy ones. The ones that don't take any work to maintain, or even necessarily plant ourselves. A predisposition toward making work for ourselves?

[Sage]

Infinitely better.

Infinitely.

[The MAZZTer]

It could only be infinitely if before it was blackhole-level of suckage. Which it clearly has never been. I do like it better, though.

Also I hate yardwork. It doesn't help that I'm alergic to dust (at least, I think so. My nose always runs for like a day after I do yard work.) and that I sunburn easily.

It actually started sometime around the late 1890's. A group of enterprising young boys needed a way to make money, so they started convincing people that certain varieties of plants are "undesirable", and offered to remove them from people's yards at a fee. If it weren't for them, we'd be considering weeds as a normal variety of garden plant.
Bleh, the dragons are better at making stuff up...

[Steve the Pocket]

Of course, if you're talking about a vegetable garden, that's another matter. Then pretty much anything you didn't plant is liable to be a problem, whether it's dandelions or chrysanthemums. (I'm assuming here that chrysanthemums aren't a bulb flower, as they'd be a pretty lousy example if they were.)

[Tom Flapwell]

Didn't Huey Freeman once try to use compassion for grass as an excuse not to mow it?

[Harena]

Hi!

i wanted to pop in & add my support to the new look of the strips!

Kudos to DC; it looks great & i find it much easier to read... don't have to go for my reading glasses!

Photoshop calls.
