I think T & Phil chose wisely. Both of the other entries were good, but yours was simply better.

John also seems to be the only one who understood the need for space for text.
The text bubbles will always cover something, and the trick to making that not seem tragic is to have there be enough stuff not covered.
That way the reader will usually just “mend” the image in their heads by extending the background that is not covered.

That would have been immersion-breakingly difficult with the other ones, nice as they are.

Doubly subverted trope: Bandit’s question didn’t provoke the gods of misfortune into making it worse for Gravedust than for the rest of them, but only because they got it worse than she expected. (BTW, I sure am glad that I’ve already read so much of TVtropes that I don’t always get stuck in an hours-long binge whenever I go there to check something.)

The art shift was a little jarring the first time around, but it’s even more jarring now that I’m used to the way John ended up drawing them. Luckily, the Waltrips only take about a week to settle into a style. :)

Hm! Okay, got it.
