Description
For those not familiar with the phrase, the father is talking about baseball.
This is another attempt at a 2D style comic strip. (I only worked on the heads this time, but it's just an experiment.) This was made with Anime Studio, using it for a purpose it was not designed for. It is actually a surprisingly capable vector drawing program. I like how you can make the lines thicker or thinner in different places. For anyone "turned off" by fiddling with bezier handles in other software, you might want to give this a try.
I'm still kicking around the idea of going 2D but I'm leaning toward sticking with the 3D stuff unless there is great enthusiasm that this style is better.

Please stick with 3d. There are a number of photoshop filters that will turn Poser output into something closer to illustration. And if you don't have Photoshop, the GIMP includes a "comic" filter that works very well.
At this point, I'd like to see how you do in future images (improvements in the images overall) before I suggest which direction you should go. I would hope that you will stay with 3D while doing the series with Didi and Kelly and crew.
the joke would B funnier if the child was a boy....but i actually think the images look great for a comic style presentation /specially the girls hair
This is a good style for comics - though I prefer your other work!
I think this style might work, if you add shading and highlighting (maybe by drawing them in if there's no other way). I don't think the flat colors work. Just my opinion.
