    I guess "drawing well" is just really subjective.
    I guess the point is that he's good enough that he doesn't have to draw stick figures, just chooses to.

    From what I heard is that he chose stick figures because he wanted to convey the stories/jokes rather than the artwork. However, while we can see that he can draw landscapes and geometry well, we have yet to see a non-stick-figure human character except for the Barrel Boy.

    Does he really need to be that skilled at drawing? To make expressive stick figures you don't need that much skill to be effective.

    I think he chooses that plain, cut-and-dry style because it fits well with the mathy nature of the comic.
    He said at Rofl-con that it was because simpler is better and that the humor was in the words so the art didn't have to be that complicated.

    "Talk Like a Pirate Day" and "Walk like a Ninja Day" would be a national holiday and Mario would replace that Indian killer Andrew Jackson on the 20. ( all I could find was a single
    )

    is actual usage of a pencil, and didn't say anything about talent or skill.
    It was however what I was aiming at. You see, most people are able to make 'decent' and relatively consistent stick figures with ms paint. However, with a pencil it is, even though they're only stickfigures, a lot harder to draw consistently and good. Something which requires some degree of skill.
