I wish more comics would vary the lettering this much to give more personality to the speaker, I think it looks great

Scott mccloud said to make a font out of your own hand writing so you can write in special lettering when you need to without it looking weird.

People might complain about McFarlane's writing, but he is pretty good at making cool-looking shit.

Back when Tom Orzechowski's lettering was actually good
Now that he has gone digital it looks so awful

I mean he's still the letterer to the series to this day, so you can literally go and look up a recent issue to see how lame it looks

I think the worst part is the sound effects, because it reminds me way too much of the impact font (wouldn't surprise me if it actually was the impact font)

The font and placement make this look like meme from 2006.

Lettering is a tragically under valued art form. It feels like the kind of thing people just write off as being able to do in photoshop or whatever.

That's Tom Orzechowski unleashed, one of the best in the business.

What's the equivalent of this in other media?
Big critically acclaimed adult series having a confirmed and noticeable influence on something made for kids on the technical side

Yeah, because what Western comics need more of is insane gimmicky lettering and paneling. You fucking imbecile.

If he only could have agreed to a co-writer to hand his ideas off to so they could do the heavy lifting with the plots and dialogue while he focused on the artwork.
