Joecab, there is a difference between “drawn in a simplistic style and/or with relatively little detail” and “badly drawn”.

Yes, at first glance Achewood looks like something done by a talented eighth grader. Look again.

But I do have a problem with painfully awful art. Sorry, i know how everyone raves about Achewood, and there are other strips I enjoy that aren’t drawn very well, but I can’t get over it here.

What’s to get?

The one cat is depressed, and had a rough childhood… These strips aren’t really punchline driven, but offer some great character moments.

That’s all.

I would argue that those strips aren’t good introductory strips since they rely on knowing character background and personality. Still very god strips but I wouldn’t recommend them to the uninitiated.
