I love the general idea of comic-style graphs, but this particular implementation of it does indeed look "fucking awful" in my opinion. The graph itself is fine, but the axis is made of these faux wavy line that eerily repeats itself.

I see the same things in fonts that are supposed to look "hand-drawn", and CG renders of realistic scenes - it looks "imperfect" but the way the "imperfection" is itself perfect is what stands out. A little randomness goes a long way to avoiding that.
