In response to the reminiscing of evolving illustration style and character design, I can't help but recall that Erin's hair has changed dramatically over the past 200 strips. Her sideburns, in particular, used to be not straight. They weren't curly, but angled, like her hair was solid iron and someone had put a pair of bends into it to form a Z-shape. I do realize that her current style is more realistic (beard not withstanding), but I kinda liked her old hair. Makes you wonder how much hair glue it took to do that every morning.
