8. Let me guess, they have tattoos on their lower backsides!

14. Oh, that's awful artwork....
I think the retro aspect of the original graphics is much more attractive.

BTW, has anyone else noticed that a different artist is drawing Judge Parker? I miss the old style.

15. the guy who drew the characters for years, dan decarlo, died recently
2001, i think, shortly after being abruptly fired by the new managers of the company

he was the creator of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Josie and the Pussycats and was suing the company for screwing him on royalties

20. Notice the collarbones.
What message does it send that even popular cartoon girls must be bony?

21. In another era, they had BOOBS and not collar bones.
As Spock would say, "Fascinating."
