It's actually daily, isn't it?

Over at @fauxpseudo@lemmy.world's HC project, I feel like we've debated this a lot through the months and/or years. Par exemple, I have a lot of admiration for how Gallagher completely blew up his uncle's traditional comic and remade it in to such a meta-comics-commentary, but I'm also someone who fusses over little details needlessly, sometimes.

I guess you could say that Nancy does something similar with its last two creators, but I reckon that was more of an incidental based on their native styles more than a 'willful steerage,' so to speak. Because the fact is that "G" pretty much completely mastered the original strip, running it that way for 10+yrs before re-creating it as what it's been the past... I dunno, decade+?
