It is interesting to note the changes in style from his newspaper comic. I assume it is the result of drawing for yourself and being able to take the time to draw it how you want rather than a 7 comic a week deadline syndicated strip.

It might be explained by the long explanation on the linked page - these new cartoons are drawn on computer with a graphics tablet, whereas the old ones were pen and ink.

    There are multiple reasons for a different style, but U think a big one is that a syndicated cartoon is expected to have a recognisable style. We recognise many cartoonists by their unique style, despite many of them being far more versatile artists than that.
