The artist did an "art reboot" last year, that's why it may seem as there are two beginnings, the old art is black and white, and frankly eyeless. I also find it to be a great and very endearing style. Minimalist yest highly detailed, as though she draws ONLY what she needs and yet does it quite well.
The current color strips, I don't like the story line of the reboot as well mainly because it lost my favorite line ever "I'll call up a few hard opium-hitting Whigs and hitch you to a plow like a mule. I will go pre-industrial on your candy ass!"
