Off-putting art in good webcomics

[Vinyadan]

Maybe this impression actually comes from the fact that Phil Foglio is often depicted dressed like one of the guys he draws? So the clothes emphasize the same body parts.

A recent one for me is David Morgan-Mar's new comic, Eavesdropper. It's probably great, like everything else I've seen by him, but dear god that art is just the worst.

Well, no. Phil himself isn't weird or squat or googly-eyed. He's just very fat. It's not the same thing at all.

Phil is a Hoffmanite?


My first introduction to Phil was the Buck Godot comics. I thought the stories were pretty darn funny, even if the art is a bit off and doodle-y. It wasn't bad though.

Well, we're not talking about the art being bad or good here. Just whether we might, personally, find it off-putting.

Right. Phil's art is a little off, particularly the way he draws women. They come in one shape it seems.
