Not too bad. I like the name of the coffee shop. The 'Nique brand shoes are also a nice touch.

Lovely comic. Sinfest Sunday strips are basically my favourite thing on the internet these days.

I was actually slightly disappointed with this weeks Sunday comic...
It got a chuckle, but this weeks wasn't much compared to what we've been getting recently.
Also, hasn't 'Nique's muse-ness already been done? =/

Indeed it has.

Quite a bit of similarity there.

The most disappointing strip yet. Halfway in I was thinking, "been here, seen that." The final panel was the epitome of predictable. Too bad.

If I hadn't seen this idea before, I might have loved the entry.

I do like the nique with longer hair.

Yeah, but what about the art? Tat is getting better and better (if that's possible!) with every sunday strip. It's AMAZING in this one.

But yeah, he "re-imagined" a previous strip. Big deal. Take it like a director's cut.

Yeah, I'm figuring he just thought that the strip deserved to be redone better.

You do have to admit it looks a lot better. Wink

Also, "paint paint paint" is brilliant.

It makes absolutely no sense as onomatopoeia but the shape of the letters makes you think it should.

The "art" is about the same. The black and white has more intricate shading, and the color uses nifty gradient fills for backgrounds, but I read comics for more than just art.

They can't all be winners, I understand, but reusing exactly the same idea?

I haven't been terribly impressed with the ideas in this latest stuff anyway, so when I saw this, my thought was, "is this the end?" Of my reading the strip, anyway. Smile

I certainly hope so yarko, I could really get over never seeing your ugly av and snide remarks again.

For the rest of the sane world, I thought this strip was a well done remake of his old idea.

maybe he forgot he used this idea before. maybe it was in the wrong file, and it seemed like a new one.

or not.

I considered that idea as well. Of course, he COULD have been redoing the old strip. Remember:

Artist Vision, n. - The tendency of artists to see their own work as utter crap.

I am afflicted with this disorder.
