Nothing Worse

Apr 16, 2009 13:05

Is it just me, or is the most recent page of Nothing Better sort of crap? It feels really disjointed, visually and in terms of dialogue. The line "didn't you miss THIS?!" seems a little odd combined with the tragic gesture to her breasts. Rather than the line being said in a sexy, joking way, it's as if Molly's desperately begging for validation.
Then Josey goes from lounging on the steps to hugging her and then back to sitting on the step in a few quick panels, with no sense of motion in the artwork. It feels like someone cut up the panels and mixed them around, leaving some out.
Then at the end he goes from normal and lucid to bubbles-around-the-head, flushed-cheeks, eyes-half-closed drunk between panels. Again, where are the missing panels?

Anyone can have an off day, bit he doesn't update that often and I know he's creating the book for print, so this really surprises me. I expect better from this comic.

comics, nothing better
