OSNews has been reporting, since its start in 1997, on the world of operating systems, their applications, their hardware, and their people - both users and developers. OSNews has seen 3 major rewrites, various personnel changes, and numerous topics of discussion, some way beyond the original scope OSNews started out with over a decade ago. Today, we are announcing a major shift in what we do, with which we hope to re-ignite OSNews - yes, we are shifting our focus. Read on for the details.

At least he should have to give the graphical part to someone that has a bit of drawing skills.
Why? So I can take away one of the unique things about Focus Shift? Should C&H hire proper artists to draw the people for them (since they obviously suck at it)? Would they still be as unique?

" Actually, I think the limited drawing skill adds to the cartoon - it gives it a more abstract quality. This aids the more geeky message that is being conveyed.

On a completely unrelated note: can I know what is the history for the green GIF you use as avatar? It's years I see it on the Internet, it's clearly a meme, but I don't know what it is or where is it born as a meme.
I think it's one of Andrew Bell's creatures.

I don't think comments like this are constructive and I don't think they are well-purposed. Frankly, I think they're just rude.
They are constructive. They are basically telling someone I esteem (Thom) to pursue his real talents instead of doing something he's (IMHO) not talented to do.
At least he should have to give the graphical part to someone that has a bit of drawing skills. Funny, badly drawn cartoon are somehow good. Unfunny, well drawn cartoons are bearable. Unfunny and badly drawn cartoon are just making my eyes screaming.
I can't believe that people are so mean to each other here. If you don't like the comics, don't read them! Why you gotta come here and rant about it too?
Because I like this site and I want it to be improved.
The comics idea is damn good. It's Thom drawing them the problem. If he can find someone qualified to draw comics for OSNews, it would be beautiful.
Get a life.
I have a good life, thanks. Heck, I even have a girlfriend, which for a OSNews geek is incredible!
