BTW would Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser from the 70s be considered apropo for this thread?

The DC ones? Assuming it's what I'm thinking of, I'm inclined say no, but I'd also say :justpost: and we can decide then, because I do want to see them. Curious to see how they were adapted, I read the entire series a little while ago but I've never read a comic version.

There's an available property on Chickweed Lane that's very reasonably priced, but trust me, you don't want that one.

The fact that it's explicitly called "the free kill zone" is what gets me. No euphemisms here!

Possibly, although note that we do see Humphrey in this timeline, who is Ella's son by Dan Finster, which would suggest that Ella and Glenn Hughes parted ways as they did in the regular timeline.
This is from a couple pages back, but I wonder if her older brother never got sent to prison in this timeline, because if he avoided his breaking the law as a dumbass teen phase and didn't end up in prison it'd also improve the family situation a lot.

Y’all really thought short story arcs was a thing now, huh? That’s wild. Better strap in!
ALSO! Did notice anything different? That’s right! Your favorite knuckleheads have gotten a bit of a make-over. I hope you love the look as much as I do. And if not, that’s totally cool. Because soon you’ll forget what they even used to look like and when you look back at old strips they’ll suddenly feel
“wrong” to you and I’ll have won. You’ll see.

As a pure personal taste thing I don't much like the new art but I'll give it a few strips. Luckily I don't think Tauhid will fall to the level of a certain other clown who shrank and then tripled the size of a character's head between 3 panels today.

Huh.

You know what? I'm I'm OK with this. It's probably better in the long term for the art to evolve over time rather than stagnate in the name of keeping things "on model"

Miles's new design looks alright. Kevin's face otoh could use some work I think. Hopefully with some practice the kinks will get worked out.

It seems like it's a remake of this comic, from back when Miles was called Curtis and the strip had a another different art style;

Gor' bless you, davidspackage. Would that I could come up with something using the template, but I'm too stupid.

And as for Crabgrass... I can't say I'm for or against it... Guess I'm in a wait-and-see mood.

As for F&GM, I'll try to get the scans come Friday and preliminary judgement can come this weekend.
