It's a very blunt nose, but it's there. The reason I changed the old design to include a nose is because I just think it looks better (and it also makes him look less like a South Park character.)

He looks like a South Park character in the old comics.

Been noted.

I just started reading these sketches this morning and I got up to "Don't Take My Bubu Away". (I'm trying not to read any of the topics in this forum about the most recent sketches because I don't want spoilers.) I'm really, really impressed so far. I didn't even think "Temple of Lost Ezboard Posts" was as bad as your introduction warned it would be.

Thanks. "Temple of Lost Ezboard Posts" is kinda bad, imo. One way I can tell that it's bad is that I read Nucleo in a different voice in that sketch than I do for all the others. One problem is that I was trying WAY too hard to parody that cartoon/movie archetype of the character who gets overexcited about making a discovery and I extrapolated far too much. Some parts were also funnier when it was on the forums. The Overlord/Kharg dialogue wasn't as funny in the final result because in the original forum version of the sketch, Maru was the director, not the Overlord. But I had no way of making that make sense in the site version because it had to do with other topical issues at the time, and nor could I come up with any reason an episode would be getting directed by an RPG character, so I changed Maru to the Overlord. (On the forums, it made more sense because I was posting in other topics with the Prince Maru account at the time.)

And the part where they go back and forth making fun of each other for the way they looked in my older crap isn't as funny to me as it was when I first wrote that. For one thing, I've made fun of that same subject in other sketches, and in those sketches it wasn't the main joke (see both "Best Enemies, Worst Friends" and "Moonbuggy Love" for a couple of examples.) Plus, it's just really too wordy, and to think I had actually cut down on a lot of the dialogue from the original sketch.

I'm not going to take it down, but I just want it to be clear that I don't really see it as a shining example of the best my writing can be.

Thanks again. I do think that one of Nucleo with the shovel is one of the best things I've drawn recently.

You know, I was kind of concerned lately that my shorter characters' heads look too big, but when I saw the episode of The Muppet Show that had Leo Sayer (who's a short person) as the guest, I noticed his head looked really big. (Maybe it didn't help that he had a big afro, but still...it probably indicates my proportions aren't necessarily far off.)

Yeah, but so are Nucleo and Honen. They might be even shorter than him.
