It's all relative

Today’s Office OFFline comic was comic was inspired by a tweet from mike_elgan. Thanks, Mike!

So, what do you think of the new look? Reviews from people I trust have been mixed, so I’m hoping you can help me decide. Should I go back to the old look, or should I stay with this one for a while? Let me know by leaving a comment.

I think I like the old ones better, but only because these new guys are creepy in their limbs and such. Dude, blue guy has some huge friggin' arms!

Eh, it's hard to tell. First off, I liked the old style better, but now I'm not so sure. Give it a few more days at least so we can see it better, and maybe that'll help the perspective.

I definitely like the new format much better.  Specifically, I like the horizontal layout much better than the 2x2.

I don't think the new guys are creepy at all, although green dude looks like he could use a day off - a bit stiff :-)

It's all good, dog. You have to work out your own art style, and never feel constrained by the work you've done before.

Both styles are good, because our brain fills in the details of the personae dramatis.

If I had to pick only one, I prefer the new style.

I like the horizontal layout, but the 2x2 seems to give you more room. Plus the old way lends itself better to when you want to do a single frame. Mix it up - do what fits for the day.

Well, I liked the old ones much better. Also, I think the 2x2 is more friendly to read...

I like the old one's better...the characters had more personality.  This one just seems like blank stick figures.
