This isn't so much an evolution of the actual webcomic, as it is a look at my own evolution as an artist.
Started waaay back in 2011, I found a bunch of old comedy comics I did as a child. They were about a kid named Jonny (I wasn't too original with naming back then) going on adventures. The character would eventually morph into my superhero the J-Man with the first comic being made in 2011, and then readjusted for the start of the webcomic in mid/late 2014.
Just for fun I took those old comics, as well as some old sketchbooks, and tried my best to recreate the look of a 6-year-old me drawing to contrast with a 16-year-old me.
I updated it in 2012 but never touched it since. For the 100 sub palooza, I updated it again for 2015 and it's safe to say I've greatly improved. Actually it looks like the span from 2012 to 2015 was like a growth spurt for me artistically. Goes to show what working on a webcomic for two years can do to your art.
Never give up, folks!
BTW sorry for the bad scans. This is from on old JPEG and I don't know where the original image is. If I find it I may update this.
