Man: Sir, your resume is quite impressive. Your credentials are amazing. There's just something about you that I'm not sure is right for the job. Perhaps it's your name. Sloth Man: Sloth man? Man: I think that's it. Sloth Man: It's an appearance thing, isn't it?
Off topic, I suppose..I was out of town the week that Bill Watterson drew the strip and am only now getting caught up on what I had missed..First: Was I the only one who was fooled? I thought that, in actuality, Stephan Pastis could draw that good! I thought that his usual stick figures were just his “shtick.”.Moreover, when I saw Libby’s work, I thought that perhaps Stephan was paying homage to (or satirizing) Watterson’s work!.Last, and certainly least: Would it be good if Stephan’s art came to mirror that of his guest artist? I note that the “new” Pig and Rat are now the banner for this strip – which has got to be confusing to anyone new to this strip, since neither Pig nor Rat look like they do in that banner!.What do people think? Should Pastis’ art stay the same, or should he try to emulate that of his esteemed guest artist?
