Some of that touch up can be quite jarring. <br /><br />Dave- It comes from reading too many damn comic books I'm afraid. Now take modern comic artists-- I can't tell who any of them are. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-74612135915071705402011-01-06T08:47:44.164-05:002011-01-06T08:47:44.164-05:00I'll never be like you guys, I could stare at ...I'll never be like you guys, I could stare at the picture all day and never guess that a different artist touched up the face.
