Well, here it is. The new artwork! The dawn of a new era! Shading! Five fingers! No more hand drawing jokes!!!

Oh yes.

It's remembrence day today. Can't do a comic commemoration this time, since I drew this before I realised the date. Doh.

Anyway, this is the first look at the new artwork, other than the back of Tim and Simon's heads. Look at the variety of angles that we can see! We have perspective! We have proper backgrounds! We have shading! Did I mention that already?

You probably noticed that there was no comic on Friday. That's cos I spent Thursday drawing. And Ill. Like I am today. That's how it might be for a few weeks. But I told you that too. Yes.

What the hell am I on about? Who knows. I love paracetamol and aspirin and codeine cocktails. Wheeeeeeeeee!

They've never had ears! I've always just shaped the hair around the ears t give the suggestion but never actually drawn ears.

Sorry, Dave. Yes, I know you shaped their hair around the 'non-drawn ears' creating the illusion of ears.

Yet, in the 3D style, you haven't done the same. You curve around the top of the ear's space, but not the bottom like you have drawn before, so it looks like no ears. At least, I didn't say anything about their hair styles...
