I like the art from these early Peanuts a lot better than the older canon-appearance. Seems cleaner. Maybe it's the hands? Some googling shows that the current fingers are uneven and sloppy.

It might be because of the geometric shapes. Everything seem really round in these earlier ones, which is weird because I'd think that would be harder to draw.

Eh, you could probably make a profit on the resale. Provided you know where to sell of course.

fake edit: Ah, forget it. Looks like nobody bothers with the tags in this thread anymore. Not that I blame you since most of the huge comics are gone.

Nope, just one. I believe there might be weed involved though.

I smoke a quarter-ounce a week and it's still baffling to me. It really gives off the impression of a writer who just wants to do safe, innocuous jokes and an artist who keeps interpreting them in the most bizarre ways humanly possible to piss the writer off.

The novelty of the joke being "goofy outdated clothes" is lost when the comic itself is almost 100 years old and always features goofy, outdated clothes from our perspective.

Gately did the strip for years in a certain style, and now his nephew has taken it over. I think he's trying to walk the line between the long time fans, but appeal to a slightly younger demographic as well. I embrace the bizarreness that is modern Heathcliff. There's nothing else like it.

One of the things I absolutely love about Prince Valiant is how often a monster or demon is illustrated as just some real-world thing that we know exists but the characters aren't familiar with, like the sea monster being recognizable as an unusually large eel, or the ogre that was a gorilla. It's just such a perfect way of portraying the world it's set in.

I know that it's not this period, but from the 70s to 2004 Cullen Murphy was the writer on Prince Valiant. He has a degree in Medieval History from Amherst and was managing editor of The Atlantic.

Cullen Murphy, as in Big Ben Bolt's John Cullen Murphy? (checks) Huh, they're father and son, and they did PV together after Hal Foster got too old to keep up with it.
