Absolutely the worst art since the strip originated, and even Gould wasn’t that good. But Gould’s drawing had a distinctive style that set the strip apart from all the others. This is just krep.
Even Gould’s art was a little, say, skewed, but this is ridiculous. “Little kids”? A kid young enough to think this is good is too young to be reading about murder plots. Why not just come out and say, “I write it for me, and I think it’s great.”
Somebody should go see where Chester’s buried and see if the grass is all plowed under from all that spinning.
I think this Locher guy should just throw it in, and they should rerun the whole strip back from the 1940’s. I’d enjoy that a lot more. This is like watching an old friend die a “long, slow, boring, miserable death, like the English Patient’s girlfriend.”
COLOR! Thank you! Artistry is back, storytelling is back–oh, yes, life is good. We missed you, Tracy.
