Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 03, 2021

First panel- Nice handwriting.

Initially, that’s pretty – and impressive.

welp, that steam died off quick.

Horace, don’t give up now….hey, come back here….

C1 – How to create a wad of paper…! C2 – so it’s like a hop. skip and a jump… C3 – so Horace just dropped out of handwriting.

“Lacking Focus” in Three Acts.

As communication and writing is done primarily via keyboard now (think about how often you really put pen to paper except for a signature and perhaps a greeting card), good penmanship/handwriting is suffering greatly. I shudder when I look at my son’s penmanship. But I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t also state that I primarily write in print now. It’s a nice print with a subtle forward angle and lines but script/cursive really doesn’t come into play for me anymore.

The top shows how origami was invented. I think all this illustrated letters business got started because monks thought fancy lines were more interesting than the texts they were copying.

Excellent calligraphy till the signature…

At least you can read the last word.

horace is squirrel brain, horse body, calligrapher’s heart
