The Naughty Sock
So, since people weren’t the fondest of Taryn’s hair int he last few posts, I changed it up a tiny bit, made it a little longer and a tiny bit floppier. I do read what you guys write, and while I don’t like reverting back to old looks, I do try to find a compromise to hopefully make everyone a little happy about a change. I’m still working on a lot of things, so thanks for bearing with me 🙂

Monty secret has been discovered…
I dig it. Also dude I want you to know I support the comic and like the style. I know it’s a bit difficult to hear criticism on one of your artistic changes so I want you to know that I really think your art style is neat.
I greatly appreciate that you take into consideration your fans’ interests in a character’s physical appearance. First webcomic I’ve read that does that, out of the 10 to 12 I read. A tip o’ the hat to ye.
As for your modifications to Taryn, it *IS* noticable, your changes, and for the better. I like the longer bangs (“eartails” we anime geeks call them) and the extension and “fluffiness” to the top of her head is rather nice. My only personal suggestion, would be to perhaps lengthen the hair in the back a TEENSY bit, making it a bit closer to the shoulder, without going past.
I dunno, what do you all think?
I had seen the last panel first, just from a glance, and I was curious how Zoey had managed to get a sock in that shape. It was very odd to think about without proper context at the time.
Cuteness overload on first panel :3
I love the new character look in these last few panels. also Taryn has gotten hotter.
…perhaps Monty froze all the socks in liquid Nitrogen?
This is why I never use “f*cking” to describe anything I’m looking for.
You never know when/if you’ll be taken literally.

I’ve just read your cometary on this strip and all I have say is don’t worry about trying to please everyone all the time because all you’ll end up doing is pleasing nobody least of all your self
be happy in what you do and it’ll make others happy too
Taryn looks much better.
Personally I like the short hair. I’d say keep it short.
I actually don’t like the changes and think she looked just fine before, i’d like you to remember one thing though and that is that these are YOUR creations, YOUR comics and YOUR lively hood to listen to your readers on some things such as ideas on where to take the comic story wise and things like that is fine, but to bend to every whim of the reader is not always the best idea…um…how to explain it…it’s like a cat, feed it nothing but treats every time it asks for it and it won’t even eat it’s food anymore. Basicly man what i’m trying to say is that after all these years as your reader I have in the past liked and not liked changes but always in the end you make it work, I just wanted to remind you that your readers will be okay if you don’t change every minor detail to their whims, otherwise they will become spoiled brats! 😛 Good job sir, happy holidays, and keep up the good work as always and I will always continue to be your avid reader no matter what happens in your comics, heck i’ve had your backrounds on my computer for years now ha! With that said nothing left to do but exit stage left! *scoots off*
The happy sock is never as happy as I am. Dunno why.
hahahahahahaha thats just wrong
I do feel like the art has been getting…a bit worse since the start of the comic, to be honest. But this is just one person’s opinion. They had more charm before and looked different from each other. Like tony’s wife for example. I remember her by her eyes. They were thin like slits, kind of cat-like. Now almost all the characters look the same, just with different hair and skin colors. Chase and Nergil are really similar too, just different hair and skin and some other things. I do miss the more distinct features between characters. A lot 🙁
