Having made my living as a desktop publisher for many years, I can tell you that font molesting should be punishable by death.

And the letters are all formed from the pixels of deleted and backspaced characters not wanted by other users. Very expensive, though.

I remember when I first got a high-def TV a few years ago. I didn’t have cable, or a Blu-Ray, so I depended on broadcast TV to enjoy my new toy to its fullest. I really looked forward to awards shows, and so the Emmys were on ABC one year. The local Seattle affiliate had a bad habit of running low-def shows on their high-def feed during the early days, and so I got to see the first half-hour of the show in low-def. Then they ran local ads, and went back to a test pattern with comic-sans lettering “ABC East Coast feed.” It was a nice looking test pattern, really showed off the color depth of high-def. Now I’ve switched almost entirely to streaming.

I’m no font expert, but isn’t the strip itself in comic sans?

Well if I can’t use Comic Sans, then forget it! That’s my favorite!

If Paige keeps looking around, there might be a hair “sylist” club like this girl with the font club. If Paige had a hair style who’s representing the “Font Club” her parents would freak out!

When I was in high school I had band program all four years, so I didn’t really get into other clubs since I had enough to do as it was.

I will most certainly join that club. You know that someone has reached ultra-nerd status when they get excited about creative font choice.
