Personally, I prefer the old image, as the art style makes it more clear that Jonah is trapped in the belly of the whale, and how that is clearly a ribcage above him; the new image just looks like a cave, thanks to its highly abstract style and lack of color. Furthermore, to someone who has little or no knowledge of Homestar Runner or its spinoffs, or has never seen that Teen Girl Squad, the random "Gazelle Carcass!!" would be rather confusing. I am familiar with the work, and it even took me a while.
Any other thoughts?
