    Highlights for me:

    • Grandpa Nutmeg hovering next to a tree, not actually sitting on a branch
    • In something of a fratboy move, Grandpa has decided to shave the left side of his moustache off, altho keeping the right
    • Grandpa’s new eye in the edit intrigues me. Seems like I’ve seen that look before in the Egyptian section of the local art museum.

      The eye seemed to directional towards Heathcliff so I edited it. I looked for other examples of his eyes and based the new one off that. I wasn’t even sure anyone would notice that.

      I wasn’t going to fix the half shaved look. I needed to preserve that NAPGism.

      Didn’t even notice the floating. But you are correct.

      When I went to remove Heathcliff I instinctively checked to see if I needed to correct him floating out of the window like a cardboard cutout overlapping with the frame because that always happens in Heathcliff comics. All that even though I knew I was going to remove him and it didn’t matter.

        Hahaha… I’ve pointed that out so many times that I’m glad it eventually stuck, i.e. the ‘cardboard cutout’ thing and the windows built out of physics from Flatland.

        I needed to preserve that NAPGism.

        I know I’m frequently complaining about Gallagher’s consistency of professionalism, but it really is sort of wonderful the way he’s such a huge slacker in that way. So much more interesting than the consistent but totally banal ‘production type’ comics of some of his colleagues.
