[2] Picked up by United Feature Syndicate, it began its full color run under the current title on December 17, 2001.
Noel left in 2003, and Kyle Miller replaced him starting April 20 of that year, drawing the strip until June 14, 2008.
During the Noel period with the United Features Syndicate, Working Daze appeared six days a week in color online and in black-and-white in a handful of newspapers.
During Noel's run, it changed format to employ word balloons, freeing it to have two or more panels as needed.
Rather than seek an artist who would mimic Noel's style, Zakour went with Kyle Miller, who brought a whole new look to the strip.
[citation needed] Zakour announced the change well in advance of the actual event, but many were caught by surprise.
[citation needed] Roberts had been working with Zakour since they were both a part of the Rugrats comic strip, and contributors to Nickelodeon Magazine.
Roberts had been writing gags and drawing the feature for five years, originally rotating with other artists and later providing all the penciling.
As negative reactions came in, Roberts altered and experimented, trying to find an approach that suited his own view of the characters.
Roberts drew the characters with more attention to anatomic reality, but still cartoony and caricatured, and put far more emphasis on backgrounds.
