I know, I know, we never speak of the work of Kurt the Tastemaker, but I thought I'd just voice an opinion.

I just took a look of last week's worth of PvP comics, and I noticed something terrible: Jade Sienna (née Fontaine) has turned from a professional and sexy office fox into a frumpy lady with bags under her eyes - and she's gone hella whiny too. Just read the last 10 or so comics and you'll see. I mean, she looks like she has leukemia or something...

Well yeah. She got married.

He's setting up Jade to be the villain of the next major story line.

Hmm, I dunno... I still think Jade's hot.

Maybe that dark top's just not flattering. Put her in something brighter, and more youthful-looking, and it'll probably make a difference.

I thought we never talked about the tastemaker because nobody ever bothered to talk about the tastemaker

Well okay, that top's not doing her any favours, but look at her. Her ponytail's hanging limply, and I swear she looks like she has bags under her eyes.

I hope this isn't a set-up for a pregnancy story or something. 'cause a pregnant glow that ain't.

Kurtz designed his characters to look good in black and white, and they did.

Now that he's colouring all the time, they don't look the same as they used to. I think Cole looks better in colour but it's not very flattering to Jade.

Them's the breaks I guess.

Her chin bugs me.

The way he extends chins at a side angle bothers me, too. It makes females look manly. He's definitely putting the wrinkle/bag lines under Jade's eyes, but I'm not seeing "frumpy" anywhere. I think it just comes with the loose sort of lines he uses now, as opposed to the thick, small ones he used to use.

PvP's still going?

That's so cute!

Subway!

I thought it was part of the arc starting with Brent saying she looked like her mom.

Also, "The fury of the Shire" made me laugh on a day when I thought nothing would. Kurtz done brought the funny.

P.S. Because we don't know where our beloved Shegs went: *waves* Hi Scott!

Frumpy? the turtle necks are gone and she is showing cleavage...

I've enjoyed this arc too, actually, but her chin still bothers me. Like someone else said, it's mannish. Although that kind of worked for this arc I guess. I kinda miss the black and white drawings. Comics.com is colorized now too, and I have to read arlo and janis in color... which bugs me for some reason. I don't know... I prefer black and white comics I suppose, don't know why.

It's prolly cause he can't draw women's foreheads.

OMG, he must be hinting that Brent is secretly gay...

Aaaaaaaand it's back to LOLBat. I wonder if Scott's current MO for story arcs is to slam his head in the filing cabinet for a few hours and write.

Oh God, now it looks like he's giving that mental diarrhea a side-kick...

I like the word Frumpy. I don't think people use it enough.

Fuck You Guys It's Funny!

<------------- indeed

not a frumpy as you thought.

She's gone from frumpy back to pumpy.

This proves it.

*waves* Hi Scott!

I really lol'ed at the strip from Thursday. I'm such a nerd. -_-

You're pretty fucked in the head if you think that's frumpy.


Speaking of fucking in the head. That gaming table Kurt makes references to is real! IT'S 1,500 BUCKS! Who would spend 1500 bucks on a gaming table? You can get a nice pool table for that dough.

I wouldn't spend the money on either, but given the choice? I never play pool, so....

and the 1500 one is the cheap one

The only Jade that's even remotely attractive have been done by guest artists:

Sheg's speaks the truth. Lurt's style has always made it look l like she has an orange wonderbra on her head.

Seriously? $1,500 is waaayyy too expensive for a table to play a game on, because.... you could buy ANOTHER table to play ANOTHER game for the same price?

If I wanted a gaming table so bad, I'd go to home depot and make one for like 200 bucks. Assholes that buy a 1500 dollar gaming table are the nerdy cousins of assholes who spend 1500 bucks on a premade Pong table.

Yeah I'd definitely consider making my own gaming table, but I'd never spend that much money to buy a premade one.

Refresh my memory... Scott ended up getting all prissy about that guest strip with the lesbian scene and removing it, didn't he?

If I made the kind of money where 1500 bucks was like 150 is to me now, I could see myself buying that table without a thought.

Yeah, I believe his wife and dad didn't like it.

It's still the best PVP guest strip like ever.

Dave Kellett's take on the Panda Attack was my favourite PVP guest strip ever.

You wanna know a secret? The reason that most people have the kind of money where 1500 bucks is like 150 to them is because they're not stupid enough to blow 1500 bucks like that in the first place. I mean there are plenty of things 1500 bucks buys you, like diamond encrusted, shark grillz.

Except that you don't have to look very hard to find examples of rich people buying dumb expensive stuff. I'd rather have a $1,500 gaming table than a $900 jacket, $500 dollar hat and $400 dollar shoes. It just so happens that I DO have enough carpentry skills and access to several hundred dollars worth of woodworking equipment to make my own table and I would probably choose to do that instead of buy it whole. But if I didn't, then making my own table simply wouldn't be feasible. Not everyone's good at or enjoys working with their hands, and the equipment required to do a good job is expensive in the first place.

For that matter, on a more practical note, I'd rather own a sweet gaming table than a car, so long as I'm living in a city area where things are in biking distance. I realize if I had a family I'd have to get one anyway, but the only thing that motivates me to spend more on a car than $1000 is environmental friendliness. (If the belching smoke wasn't terrible for the world, I'd consider it an endearing quality that gives the car character).

I really don't get why you'd think someone with a million dollar salary would be stupid for buying something like this.
