Interesting Question i thought that,ive seen Monkey Island progress from the first one towards the lastest one, and it has progressed Monkey Island as a more cartoony look and the revamping the first Monkey Island theyve made it also into a cartoon look (the characters ),do you think Monkey Island would be always portrayed as a Cartoon styled game?, Monkey Island 2 is slighty darker (remember the part where you see guybrushs parents skeletons in the lost and found) now people who have grown up with Monkey Island from the first one are slighty abit older now.
after seeing this sketch, i thought it could have a darker look and still maintain its humour (things dont have to be cartoony to be funny)
