For example, I’m always impressed by the expressions you give your characters, especially the llama. I’m always going to remember the panel in the last “Llama Facts” where the llama’s looking into his bag like it’s a Christmas present. You can’t ever use that image again without looking like a hack, because I’ll remember it, but I’ll *remember* it. I’ll always marvel how you got that expression onto a llama. Rubber stamp it, and it’ll lose its magic.

Steve is right. If you’re constantly working in real media, you’re constantly improving. Collage work doesn’t provide much opportunity for advancement. Someone may spend seconds looking at your work, and never see it again *physically*, but they will always go back to it in their memory because it will make a better impression for being unique and clever, than the same images rearranged.

DJ, the fact that you draw the strip every day shows in your improvement. I have been blown away at how good this strip has become visually. You are definately hitting your stride. Templates are fine but they limit artistic growth.
