Honestly I really enjoyed your art even in the simple cartoony beginning (makes me sad when you hate on it actually!), but you have just kept getting better and better and it is so awesome.
_How to do Art good – the String Theory method_
Step 1: Consistently produce and publish 2 finished pages* of sequential art per week for 3.5 years…
Step 2: There is no step 2

But seriously … the art in your comics has gone to AMAZIBALLS levels. This is pro grade. The coloring is vibrant and the linework is crisp. What’s really crazy is that you’re doing it all yourself. You’ve come a long way!
amaziballs! That’s a scrotally kind comment. I should post the linework on tumblr, I thought it looked pretty nice. Also it looks like a coloring book without the spot blacks, which amuses me.
So Schtein’s father (what’s his name, anyway?) was kind of like a parent to these orphans or what?
I am surprised at how /normal/ he is, considering the uhm, charming personalities of his father and his wife.
(last part of the last panel is perhaps the very best panel I’ve ever seen in a comic)
…Ok, now Cain is just as drop dead sexy as his brother.
Also, that girl second from the left in that photograph. And whatever the heck is going on behind Cain and Abel.
Orville’s corny grin in the last frame cracks me up. That whole last frame is just awesome all over–and I love how it extends most of the way up the page, like he starts thinking about it as soon as Delia starts talking but it only comes into focus after he actually starts telling her the details.
Well, just about everyone’s said it but I think it’s amazing watching the art progression throughout the years
And I also think it’s really interesting to see new characters get introduced with mostly realistic facial features versus the more stylised facial features of delilah and Schtein
My guess would be the assistant being Thanatos, and his “crazy daughter” being one of the children. Possibly yellow eyed girl?
(Now I have “Brown eyed girl” stuck in my head, but yellow instead of brown, lol)
I really like how you can tell that it’s James even without context in the last panel even though he has a different haircut, facial expression, and profile from the rest of the panels. I know for a lot of other comics the hair is really all I can go by to differentiate the characters, and here even when there aren’t exagerrated facial features, the structural subtleties are sufficient and consistent to give the characters an authentic uniqueness without sacrificing realism.
Well, this just got kind of sad.
But that rain makes me happy. It’s so awesome!
only just now? But my comic’s ALWAYS sad. And thanks! Rain is fun to paint.
Oh, but Kevin looks so happy!
Considering this comic started out in black and white, it has some of the most gorgeous coloring i’ve ever seen.
Oh my gosh, thank you, I’ve been trying really hard to improve at coloring.
You are succeeding.
Yea it looks awesome!
HOT DAYMN, the colouring on this page, here. Wow.
What beautiful brotherly love. So touching. Coloring is gorgeous on this page.
they’re great friends, naturally.
Nice stache, dude.
Well, maybe if he hadn’t spent so much time stealing his brother’s toys…..
You can see her slowly realizing how awful Schtein’s life was…

I bet he was just teleporting his brother’s afro off of his head. what a joker.
this page might just be the best you have ever drawn. *_*
I think I’m in love.

His name was Robert.Orville said it a couple pages back. C: He was like the kids’ therapist.

This comic is amazing! Your art gets better with every installment. Keep up the good work!
That assistant looks familiar. Have we seen him before? Wild guess: is he Mr. Thanatos?
they do look similar, don’t they?

SUSPICIOUS… it seems unexpected, kind of like a colorblind Stein making a decision to cut a colored wire under surveillance…….!
I feel bad for that kid with the deformed limb. :( But the coloring in the stormy sky is astounding!!
Hahaha, Osgood, that face you are making in the second panel.
The yellow-eyed girl in the photo kind of reminds me of Stein’s daughter in appearance-ways.
Epileptic trees incoming…
also there is a kid who’s head is a tornado.
holy crap.
>reminds me of Stein’s daughter — I just assumed it was Margot, as the only kid who appears to be female.
It’s not, but good guess. The Mar on the photo just refers to it being March.
Funny, Orville and Kevin got the same kind of grin.

Those last panels are gorgeous! Also, I just realized I’ve got Delia’s exact same nail polish :D

Oh goshhh, this is so awesome, I spent all night reading this comic, you sir are AMAZING.

I was just wondering- are they fighting in the last panel on a bunch of people? It looks like a lot of people wearing caps and masks.
Omgggg that bottom panel is absolutely GORGEOUS!
