He's a DIGITIST: can't be bothered with human fingers and toes.
There is so much less specificity in the faces too. That's what I think is behind all the artists who draw "funny animals" that aren't cartoony AND aren't like their species at all. It makes sense if it's a loony-tune type world or if you want to take advantage of all the differences between humans and the animals you choose but otherwise you're lazy.
I just cant take them seriously and this is a serious book about everything that's DISTINCTLY HUMAN!
The art is also very sparse within the panels of most of this volume but the artist was VERY sick so I understand- I'm just warning you that it frequently looks only "half-way done".
Kate took the full soap opera plunge by rotating around the cast for endless 2-3 page scenes.
THEN: If you've had nearly all "white" characters the whole time it looks pretty forced when all-the-sudden the whole cast gets assigned a partner of diversity in business, friendship or pleasure.
What took this long? I had gotten to thinking that they were doing the whole "authentic" Minneapolis/St. Paul (appropriately- "Mipple City") scene which was at the time and probably still is painfully white.
