Where other artists get better over time, I just think that De Gieter gets worse… Sorry Lucien…
Yeah, the illustrations in the latest Papyrus were pretty terrible.
Of course, the man is over 80, and he’s not the only comic book artist to deteriorate with age: Mézières is far from what he used to be, and even Franquin lost much of his touch towards the end (just compare Gaston in 1982 and 1987). There comes a time when it’s best to retire.
Uderzo’s still got it, though. Just a shame his hand doesn’t allow him to work much any more.

It doesn’t seem like this strip is something he spent much time on, though. The face looks completely off. =/
I haven’t been checking out his later stuff, otherwise, but hopefully his main Papyrus series is a bit better…
