I would - and not just because I like the Squirrel Girl art - but because I also experience profound schadenfreude from the impotent bitching about it that happens every time USG is brought up.

Uthor posted:People don't like Erica Henderson's art? I don't not like it, but I will say that a lot of the time it looks like she gives characters buck teeth/big overbites, which is fine for Squirrel Girl, because, y'know, squirrel; but when I see it on Galactus or Koi Boi it irks me. Also what is Nancy's hair even supposed to be. That said Squirrel Girl is still a very good book.  Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6

But, y'know, gently caress the DC house style, no idea why they'd demand all artists draw a certain way when superhero readers are so open-minded about other cartooning styles.

I actually hate both the art and the writing in Squirrel Girl, but I still love the book. It just fits, I guess it's like how having a raw egg in a cocktail sounds abysmal, but then you actually start sucking on your Ramos Fizz and it's pretty drat good. Or like how, taken individually, all the 3rd rate beef scrapings and scifi stabilizers, flavorizers and other additives in a fast food burger are stomach churning, but taken together they're pretty tasty.

That art is exactly the kind of art a Squirrel Girl comic should have. It's cartoony and weird and odd. It fits the character perfectly. I'm still not going to read it because I don't care for that character, but it looks like it's a perfect fit to me.

There's a tiny, horrible, horrible, part of me that wants to see what Squirrel Girl would look like using the exact same scripts, but art by Greg Land.

Probably the most copyable artist in the world. Just photoshop over google images and paint over bodies. It would be funny and way too believable at the same time.

The weird thing is it's mostly SG herself who seems to be oddly drawn. Look at Cap, Spidey, Widow, etc. in that last page and they're all fine to me. It's just Squirrel Girl and friends who have bizarre googly eyes, lumpen noses, and pronounced lips. Or maybe that's the joke?

So the reason Squirrel Girl's so recently popular is that she's basically written like she's got borderline personality disorder.

Nah you know how Nu52 was jerking off everybody that thought comics needed to be super serious business? Squirrel Girl just jerks off the other end of the spectrum that believe comics are for dumb babies and should never be serious. See she beats up all the serious characters isn't it funny! HAHAHAHAHA LAUGH AT THE DECADES OLD GAG OR YOU HATE FUN

Now I know this is crazy talk but maybe, just maybe, a comic can be silly and dumb without anyone ever suggesting that comics are dumb and should never be serious? Ridiculous, I know. I mean, it's not like you just pulled a strawman out of your rear end, right?

Hell, the current arc could easily be done in Thor and with a more serious tone, but changing very little of the actual content. (The story is that Ratatoskr, the squirrel that lives on Yggdrasil is using her magic to mess with everyone's minds and set them against one another so humanity destroys itself and lets nature take over. Hence why SG needs to team with Thor)

I think some of the squirrel girl panels posted here are funny, but add me to the the "the art if bad" bandwagon. That hippo-dude panel looks like it was drawn by a 16 year old. Maybe people are into that look, but I don't get it.

No that's just what it looked like on paper when it was launching after exposure to the "funny" panels turns out it's just the most cynical piss taking of comic books since Wanted. And I love Nextwave.

People who think the art in Squirrel Girl is bad don't understand art. It's fine to not like it, but thinking it's bad art is dumb.
