I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s good with a ruler. Her backgrounds are pretty decent, like the table in panel 1. If you recall her first day, 9/30, she drew a very detailed news camera. She just can’t draw people that actually look human like this strip has always portrayed. Also, it looks like Gerads lost 40 pounds and his hair grew 6 inches since Saturday.
I think most of us can agree that hiring HB was a mistake for not only his shotgun approach to story telling but also his complete lack of sports knowledge. Now we have to endure the work of this new artist who looks like she stopped taking a learn to draw course after two lessons. “First draw a rectangle. Then two smaller rectangles for legs. Then two smaller ones for feet.” Nothing is ever smoothed out. Like I said in an earlier post, they look like Rockem Sockem Robots. Check out the guy in the background of panel three’s mug. I’m trying to envision the hiring process when Rachel submitted her portfolio. “This is fantastic work! You’re hired!”
Just don’t hand off to the guy with no thumbs.
