I agree with Usual John on the annoying font used by “Basket Case”: if they have to use a computer, they might as well go with Times Roman or Helvetica, instead of “faux” handwriting. I can understand why many comics use computer fonts, but I still prefer hand lettering (such as in “Rubes”, although I must admit that the font in Cyanide and Happiness is very tolerable).

At least none of them uses “Comic Sans” (see http://bancomicsans.com/main/).

The Cyanide and Happiness strip is actually from quite a while ago, at least a year back. Someone must have discovered this gem (if you can call them that, even though I do enjoy their humor occasionally).

Cidu Bill - No, that was Malcolm Three.

I would have found the Roman comic a lot easier to get on first reading if their “B” didn’t look so much like a “D.” Actually, a lot of fonts use nondistinctive letters (though not usually this particular one). Seriously, why do they do that?

Randy Milholland wrote of the Peter Rabbit comic, “This is what happens when I draw and paint for my own amusement.” I would say that drawing and painting for his own amusement worked out very well in that instance.

padraig - Don’t worry too much. I thought the same thing.

At first glance I thought the rabbit ‘toon had to do with a war between Easter and St. Paddy’s, and the Easter Bunny was holding up St. Patrick’s head. So, anybody know a good therapist?

Wasn’t he the guy who became king of Scotland after Macbeth was killed?

Reminds me of the story about the little kid who said he wanted to do a school report about the life of the activist “Malcolm the tenth”.

Reminds me of Wick Fowler’s Two Alarm Chili. You can add extra hot stuff and make it Three Alarm Chili or Four Alarm Chili. If you make it with no hot stuff whatsoever, it’s called False Alarm Chili.
