[QUOTE="Presto2112, post: 3669957, member: 18303"] While it's unfortunate that Rich has been having a string of health problems that has resulted in infrequent updates of my favorite webcomic, I appreciate the work he has been putting into his creation while he recuperates. What I appreciate more is his unwillingness (or inability, whichever) to substitute Guest Artists to continue the comic. I read several webcomics, and there are a couple that for various reasons, are also taking some brief hiatus. And in the interim, are employing several guest artists to continue their webcomics. Most of these guests use the same characters in the comics, but offer their own interpretations of them or present a variety of "what if" scenarios, and they really bug the pants off me. I've seen it done once or twice in Dragon, where they got Foglio to draw Nodwick, or Aaron Williams to draw Dork Tower, but that was largely done as a gag in the April issues, and I appreciate the humour, but for some reason, it's just different to me. Granted some people are bound to read the guest strips and love them to pieces, but if I wanted to read strips by these other people, I'd read their strips. I'd personally rather wait for the original artist to get back and take in their interpretation of their own characters. Of course, thata's just my opinion, I could be wrong. </DennisMiller> [/QUOTE]
