I'm On Board!

The painting is back! How I could've managed to miss a single day of this nonstop breakneck action I don't know, but after reading Monday's comments, I'm fairly sure we're on to something: GROUP MAKEOVERS. Oh. Man. Tommie will be crying with happiness, Lu Ann will reluctantly go along with it, and Margo will throttle the host within an inch of her life. Now that's good TV!

Also, I had the same thought as mrvy: this would be a quite clever way to integrate a new illustrator into the strip. Frank Bolle has been plugging away for the past decade like a champ, but he's well into his 80s and he's got to be thinking of retiring. Replacing Mr. Bolle would not be easy: his art exudes a bobbly--er, bubbly--kind of charm, with nice thin line work, occasional bizarre background details, and hilariously misguided fashion choices. And the finger pointing! Would this be the end of finger pointing??
