Lettering

Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - 12:09 AM

Today's strip pretty much employs every hand-font I'm capable of, I'm noticing.

Hand-lettering in strips is one of those increasingly rare things...but I love it. Aaaand, I just need about 15 more years to master it, is all. :)

The true beauty of this is the irony of the "effort" interfaces take and our inherent laziness juxtaposed against the true craft of hand-lettering. It's that subtle commentary that makes Sheldon a brilliant strip!

Sorry that was supposed to be Kellett. I really should not be typing this early, maybe I can get my computer to do it for me next time.

Sooooo, our Elementary School teachers weren't lying to us when they said that we need to learn cursive. Well, as long as you're a cartoonist or a famous person who signs autographs all the time. Dave, I guess you fit into both categories, so good on ya then!!!!
