   This is the specific image to which I reacted: Https:// tinyurl. com/mwf2p2b7 . (I forgot that when you have posted multiple comments, the GoComics board doesn’t provide a visible record of which comment I replied to.)

   Oh, I agree that you gave Charles some great references for past looks for Lizz from the Gould canon. I am very impressed by your ready access to such resources. I was just reacting to the one specific example you gave, which struck me as on the one hand certainly classic Lizz, but on the other hand not Gould’s best work.

   And perhaps I am somewhat more tolerant of a new artist’s new style if that new style is well executed. The most recent case in point is “Heart of the City”: I still very much miss Tatulli’s distinctive style, but I also have grown to respect and enjoy the distinctive new style introduced by Steenz. (On the other hand, I would have to admit that no one else has quite managed to fill Ernie Bushmiller’s shoes on “Nancy”.)

   I, for one, very much like Charles’ style in this strip—the reactions in P3 are great—and I have to say that I have never been fond of the way Gould would often depict a nose as simply two disembodied airholes in the middle of the face.

   I do believe that “the boss” here bears more than a passing resemblance to certain depictions (both photos and courtroom sketches) of the erstwhile publisher of the National Enquirer—grey hair and mustache, high forehead, metal-rimmed glasses, and yellow tie.

   This “GRUNDGE”, with its specific typographic layout, is one of the best comic strip sound effects ever. Johnny was a genius at this.

   Good job. Make that “magnifico”! Not every female wears lip gloss. Please keep up the good work.

   And as long as I’m buttering you up, I may as well put in a good word for toothpicks. :-)

   Excellent pointy chin on Tracy in all three panels.

    I think we are in agreement here. I just wanted the punchline to be the rockets—satisfying Shakespeare and Chekhov in one go.
