Here’s a glimpse of what a typical Red Ring strip was like in 2012, after Shawn’s artistic style and ability had evolved considerably. The expressions, the gestures, the detail right down to Shawn’s teeth and spit – its honestly shocking, to see how much the man improved! 

Not to mention the content of the strip, a total evisceration of BioWare and the controversial ending to Mass Effect 3. For folks who might not remember, the ending of ME3 was one of the biggest controversies in gaming in 2012, with a lot of dedicated gamers feeling bamboozled by the ending to the series. Quite frankly, Dr. Ray’s apology here was not acceptable, and the wave of harassment he received after this strip’s publication was too good for him!
