Nice one.

i'm totally in love with this style! there's just something very appealing about simple and toony, and your hatching gives it a unique kick.

hehe awesome :3

Is it necessarily a refusal to put away childish things, or simply an act of seeing how your current self reacts to those childish things -- and perhaps, by way of it, those things are allowed to grow a little bit and not remain in the realm of childish?

Art is art, anyway, no matter what age you are or what you consider it.

Either way, I do love these two. This style seems to give them a touch of innocence that I haven't seen in your work in a while (you *were* mentioning childish things), which makes me smile.

There's a chapter in Families and How to Survive Them about how stuffed toys, as 'transitional objects', help children to mature; it has a cartoon showing a man with a Playboy bunny on his arm remarking, '"When I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11 ... Got myself bigger rabbits.' (While she thinks 'Get stuffed.')

Basically, I only ever quote that phrase in irony. You're quite right: you never put away childish things, you grow around them like a crystal around a particle. And if you think you've got rid of them and can't return to them sometimes, you're in trouble.

Alex looks great, Sybil kinda fares the change less well, but on the whole I approve!

She's a lot blunter-muzzled to be sure, and that doesn't entirely suit her. But as an experiment in more stylised face shapes I don't think it's too bad.

Well, when she first appeared all the way back when the strip was called Tooth & Claw her muzzle was in serious danger of putting someone's eye out. ;)

This pic made me dig out my Bohemials archive last night and reread the whole thing. Despite the intervening years I still quite enjoyed it.

Good to see them back again. Are you going to continue the story?

Yes and no. Actually resurrecting Bohemials is out of the question, I'm afraid (having the two main characters split up and living in different continents, and no idea what else I'd do with it). The odd one-off strip set in the midst of that story wouldn't be, but I'd have to be particularly tickled by an idea.

However. Sibyl is due to turn up in my new comic (post events of Bohemials). She's not the focus of attention, but she will be important.

I miss these guys!

It's great to see them again. The style reminds me of the so-called "pasted-one eyes", which I liked because it gave your characters thoughtful expressions. Also, this cartoonish approach works very well with your colouring technique, and the mix of the two is quite original.
Alex looks just like the original; shy and easily confused, while Sybil seems a lot more cheerful than before. Anyway, I love this!

Good old stick-on eyes :) I did try Simpsons-esque overlapping spheres-in-non-space but I found it very odd.

Sibyl's definitely in a manic phase in these.

ZOMG, she's ... smiling.

I love the way you convey their personalities, they really come off as oddball sort-of folk.

This sure was a pleasant surprise! I'm really enjoying the new style. =3

ah, definitely miss these two... I really enjoyed your comic when it still ran :3

And you can blame Twapa for introducing me

Brilliant! You work is always delightfully welcome!

I would kill to have your handwriting.

I really dig this style. The fur pattern reminds me of illustrations in older children's books.

Simple, but great to look at. I'd love to see more in the future :D

Now this is an adorable pair.

Wait, you're the Albion Fuzz guy? Neat! That was one of the first online comics I ever found, and one of my favorites. I think it's a testament to your subsequent progress that I wasn't able to recognize the more recent style, though now I see the affinities.
