This comic is one of their worst from an artistic standpoint and you missed by Last 11/23/2009, 6:48am PST ... all of the problems and complained about a non-problem. In panel 1, Luigi kicks the turtle shell. The turtle shell goes off screen in panel 2. In panel 3 the turtle shell is returning and Mario is jumping so that the shell hits Luigi. So the shell 'disappearing' in panel 2 makes perfect sense - it went off-screen. Here's the actual problems: * When mario hits a coin block, the block should bump upward, not stay level with the row of brick blocks. * In panel 1 it looks like Mario is jumping out of Luigi, that's ugly and confusing. * In panel 1, there needs to be a better visual cue to indicate that Luigi is kicking the shell. * In panel 1, the turtle shell 'swoop' is curved even though the shell is traveling perfectly horizontally. * In panel 3, Mario and Luigi are the same size (measuring ass to hat), even though Mario is big and Luigi isn't. * In panel 3, the turtle shell 'swoop' is curved again. * In panel 3, Mario's 'swoop' line is curved as if he were jumping and moving laterally. This is ugly and confusing. As Gabe's punishment I have subtracted $1 from my Child's Play donation.
