David: Wow, I can’t tell you how true I feel that quote is. Hard to believe one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had such profound thoughts!

I think Leonardo captured that George Lucas frame of mind best, in his famous quote: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.”

So you fit into a long history of revisionism, with some great predecessors.

Andrew: interesting idea. I think I’ve seen that done on other sites. I’ll see if I can cook something up along those lines…

I’m the type of person who’s fascinated by how changes in a given body of work affect the final product. In that regard, I like seeing the “history” behind the process. The new prince looks good and it’s your strip to change as you see fit, but as a matter of “historical trivia” do you think it would be a bad idea to have a link to the original, non Special Edition versions of the strip?

Yeah to both! I love the change and I think it’s good to change past images if you can.

Rosebud: this is a real revelation to me. I am clearly too close to the issue as I thought this would be a revolutionary change that readers would find distracting. As for which one looks younger, if you look past the length of the haircut, I think the first one looks older because of his more defined nose and his less-rounded chin and cheeks. Oh well.

As for the first panel of 162, that star has nothing to do with a “not-quite-deleted-prince” but is rather meant to indicate some pain in the Queen’s lower back. Take another look and let me know what you think.

I’m glad you feel I can do whatever I want because I have some other “revising” to do that will happen in a few weeks. I don’t feel it’s as major as this (and so people may not even notice) but it’s not something I plan on doing regularly. I’ll mention it when it happens.

I like the new look of the prince, I bet he princess really loves her bother.

So do they ( the prince and the dragon ) always standing there and look at the princess all day?

What happen to the Witch and the newt ?

I thought something was different with the prince, but I could not tell what you were referring to on Monday because there was no change from this strip and all the preceding strips because they were all the same. So, clearly, there was no change. And thus your comment made no sense, especially since you called the changes obvious. If you are the person drawing it, what seems obvious to you is not as obvious to the rest of the world.

As to preference? The first one looks younger than the second. Or at least with a new haircut. Personally, I think it would be cute if the first look was in the first two panels and the new new look showed up after the “Quickest Delivery Ever”. By the way, I just noticed the not-quite-deleted-prince-what-is-that-star-on-the-king-for first panel of 162.

But as long as there’s no Jar-Jar, it’s your world, and you can do whatever you want! (Though adding a Jar-Jar could lose you viewers. =)
