That's quite the second panel today. At first I thought it was a pair of legs with hands instead of feet.
Labs, you are a very strange person.
Yeah, it's even weirder than yesterday's panel of Lisa Wyche blasting off.
You know, I'm starting to entertain the possibility that Labs actually enjoys reading Gil Thorp.
Labs likes Gil Thorp because it reminds him of a prelapsarian world in which he never studied analytic philosophy.
6: Yep. There's a distinct android look to Thorpe Classic.
Since the men of A3G are only distinguishable through hair color (or in the case of Blaze, poncy cowboy shirts), and since there's a large cast of characters in Gil Thorp, I look forward to dialogue in which each remark will include the name of the character to whom it is addressed. The new formality!

New Gil also looks a little like a non-steroidy Vince McMahon.
Oops. But anyway, the good thing about Old Gil going away is I won't have to try to place those eyebrows anymore. Leona Helmsley? Joan Crawford?
Old Gil looks kind of like a macho-ized Steve Ditko Dr. Strange ("By the Hoary Hosts of Tagliabue!Baron Mordo! Spying on our scrimmage sanctorum!").
New Gil looks like a refugee from the "physique" magazines of the '50s.
Old Gil looks like Frankenstein's monster. Classy. Old school, rugged but handsome a cartoon with an enormous schwanzschtücker.
Oh, have you set a date for the domain switch to labsreads.com?
10: There's a distinct android look to Thorpe Classic.
I was thinking retro-Max Headroom meets Playmobil hair.
And it is too early to judge the new Gil until you get a head-on look at him. I suspect the normal rules of representation from different viewing angles may not apply.
18: No, Mitt Romney looks like Rex Morgan.
I don't care for the new Gil at all. Gil Thorpe may have jumped the shark.
This is indeed disappointing. The highlight of Gil Thorp was always the epic awfulness of the art.
It wasn't just that it was bad. It was that it was so incredibly terrible that it was nearly impossible to believe that someone was actually getting paid to be an artist for the strip.
Now, all we have to look forward to in the art is the banal mediocrity of Apartment 3-G. Most disappointing. If they'd gotten the Rex Morgan MD guy to do the art, though, that'd have been sweet, since that guy kicks ass.
