Barreto is a great improvement over Le Doux, who’s stuff has always been as flat as cardboard cutouts to me. Sure, he’s good with patterns, but not much with camera angles and expressive faces. Kudos to Barreto. Glad you are there.

Having moved from Chicago at the beginning of 2007, here in Western North Carolina, I was disappointed to find ourselves deprived of the morning ritual of the Judge Parker strip in our local newspaper. My favorite strip ever since the two orphaned girls came to live at the ranch, I too admired Herold Ledoux’s work, but echo the sentiments that John Heebink’s work provided a workmanlike – albeit alarming! – segue to Eduardo Barreto’s more familiar style of drawing. Woody & Co., keep churning out those great storylines!

I so miss Harold Le Doux’s artwork-the series of Judge Parker is not the same. Can’t we “unretire” Mr. Ledoux?

Looks like Eduardo makes his return with the January 15th daily strip of Judge Parker.

Cool. Glad he is back on it.

Eh, I’ll just be glad that I won’t have to continue to try and forget what Barretto’s characters looked like.

I’m glad to know what happened to the art. These people don’t like like themselves, ages and faces are so totally wrong. I hope it goes back to LeDoux style as Eduardo’s and those after him have made too drastic changes to the original comic characters.

Heebink only has a couple weeks left on Judge Parker.

He is a good artist, but wasn’t (hasn’t) been a good choice to fill-in for Barreto.

Hopefully, this won’t repeat itself again, and Eduardo can remain with the feature for a long time, but, if I were Woody Wilson, I would be looking for back-ups.
