I think animals in gernearl are -more- self-aware than you have given them credit for. Note the differece between a happy animal and a sad one. They might not be able to -tell- you or perhaps comprehend what the difference between the two states are but I'm pretty sure that in and of themselves, they have a preference and that's pretty self-aware!

One thing Quitely does better than almost anyone else is "Creepy". He can make the most mundane things creepy when he wants to. I think he would be perfect for a horror title.

There's something about his art that reminds me of Guy Davis, so I think you're right there.

Edited to add: As dad to a new puppy, I'm fully aware of dog personality and emotions. But as far as I can tell, my little Shelby doesn't contemplate the meaning of her own existence and her potential non-existence (i.e. death).•• Lucky, really. Spares her all kinds of nonsense that has burdened humans since we became humans. But also, until canine mind-reading is perfected, pure speculation. We don't know what animals think. We do know that they dream, and they plan ahead. If they get along without struggling to impart "meaning" to that which is meaningless, more power to 'em.

I dunno. A lot of people hated Franks Thorne and Robbins too, but I loved those guys.
----
But those guys (including Guy Davis, which has been mentioned) had great composition skills and they were energetic. Quitely's work looks a bit like Nemo in Slumberland meets Curt Swan, except really lazy, one panel a week, no background, only one character right in the center of the picture.

I've seen a cat grieving for her lost mate -- spending days and days pining
for him, wandering through the house calling, acting listless and being
generally unresponsive to anyone -- until she deliberately ran in front of a
car. It was heartbreaking.
You can't tell me animals aren't self-aware.

Quietly has excellent storytelling and as far as facial expressions and body language goes, he's one of the most expressive comic artists I've seen. He's a unique talent, and I've really grown to like his artwork.
As to his work ethic, I know nothing.

Er... Did Quietly ever read "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way"?
Well, since one editor told me that nowadays he might not employ Buscema because he was too "old school" maybe Quietly's better off without reading it anyway.

Quitely's really good at drawing people standing around. Or floating.
Hell of an illustrator. As a narrative storyteller? Not my cuppa.

Trevor, that Red Sonja page is awesome. I have that issue. It's one of the stories that turned me into a fan.
