>>63 from a purely artistic point of view, what is wrong with it. in fact i venture to say that he is one of the best ive seen.

I'll say that you haven't seen many professional artists, then.  You asked, so let's get started...

He almost never draws detailed backgrounds.  He only draws backgrounds at all when they're absolutely necessary to establish context; most of his characters are just standing in blank voids. He reuses the same facial expressions over and over again.  He's horrible at drawing ears for any species other than cat.  His knowledge of anatomy is just bad; many of his females would have broken backs if they were twisted into the positions he puts them in.

As far as the philosophical content of Better Days, the writing is just bad.  Go ahead, try to read some of it out loud and think about whether anybody ever actually talks like that.  Fisk is a Randian man-god who never does anything wrong.  He also serves as a mouthpiece for Naylor's own beliefs, and thus he is always right and never has to suffer consequences for any of his actions (see: setting off a grenade and killing several people in an urban environment.  You think the police wouldn't be all over that?).  The rest of the characters are one-dimensional foils who can be described in a few words.  (Aron: I'm wacky!  Beth: I'm a sex-starved goth!  Elizabeth: I'm torn between pleasing my parents and being Fisk's loving housewife!)

>>63 oh i dont know, a dragon raping a bunny while slitting his throat with a piece of glass while shooting up heroine.

You're complaining about the /content/ of the art, not the quality.
