I must admit that you're right. I generally don't like Mau Heymans' 
style, somehow I find his brother's style to be somewhat more lively, 
even though they are very similar. All in all, I prefer styles that are 
more similar to Barks or Vicar as they are my favorite artists from 
childhood.

Anyway, I can't tell what he was feeling when he did the art to that 
story. I am sorry that I deigned to make such a comment.

As you say, he might have matured as an artist and found his own style. 
I just preferred that older art in the left (check the link, above). I 
think the depictment of movement and facial expressions are much better 
in the that one. That made me to draw a conclusion that he did the 
artwork hastily.

At least Rob and Harry just came forward as fans of him, so his style 
must have something in it - something that I just can't see, not yet anyway.
