Thom,
I don't think that setting such a policy is a good idea. Let people criticize it. I certainly have enjoyed your work. And so have many others. If I may be so bold... you have taken this attitude before regarding moderation on the OSNews site in general. And it left a bad taste in many readers' mouths. Such heavy-handed moderation techniques are bound to.
And whatever happened to Focus Shift "lightening the mood" on OSNews?
Unless you think that:
helps to lighten the mood on OSNews, then I should say that it would be best to discontinue the effort.
I would not do so. I believe that it has been a successful undertaking, thus far, and has much potential.

That's because you're doing it wrong. This is not a strong style for tablet/pen art. Try making it using the mouse. Add box, resize box. Add text, move, resize text. Keep it simple. You've taken an artists approach, not the designers. Think like a designer. Boxes, not brushes.

I have a tablet, and I tried using it, but it simply sucks (I have Adobe Illustrator). It just doesn't work like a real, proper pen, and all the freedom and control that comes with it. The style won't change, it's the way it is, and if you don't like it, you can always not read them.
This is the last comment on the style of the comics. Any other comment regarding the style on this or future comics will be deleted. You are free to discuss the content of the comic, or the message it tries to convey.
