Is that unusual in a comic? Yes. Is it a bad thing, or does it detract from the comic? Hell no. If you have the time to draw them, I'm happy to take the time to look at them.

I didn't mean the last 2 panels were the best EVER (and note I didn't say that, J-dog did), just the best 2 continuous panels in JPTM history in my ever-so-humble nitpicking opinion (sorry to the rest of the Mammals if I gave Jim an inflated head).

Yeah, I think me! might be right, overdrawing is my thing. The trick (and struggle) will be to keep heavily detailed scenes from impairing the storytelling. Thanks guys!

Your stuff always deserves a second or third look to catch all the details. The house rocks. Excellent strip. Your stuff always deserves a second or third look to catch all the details.

In a time where good drawing seems to be lacking in many comics yours really stands out with great art. And I love panel two. Definitely not.

The cyborg cat/fish is a neat touch of weirdness. The last 2 panels are really great- I love how you've put a lot of extra work into the characters the last few strips. They stand out in detail over the backgrounds and the expressions are spot-on. Probably the best 2 panels I've seen and that's not meant as a cut. The action (and "special effects")expressed in the final panel is great. Overdrawing is your thing. Oh, yeah - the punchline is good too. (Comics are still s'posed to be funny, right?)

I am absolutely in awe of th wonderful Neo-American-Gothic/Post-Modernistic/Hobbiton feel of Adam's house in Panel 1 - it is beautiful. Shades of Ron Cobb creeping in here? Very sweet. I like the suspense you are building with what Adam's father looks like - still haven't decided on a face yet? Planning on springing a surprise on us? Just loving it.
