Good to see your webcomic back up at running. I am currently working on a flash fiction entry for this months writing challenge at Scribophile. Thanks once again.

I have a similar comic experience. It fed my nightmares for years. I wish I could find that comic now ... Well … it is good to push some boundaries. I have a similar comic experience.

When I was a kid my big brother used to have this creepy little comic book where people climbed out of their skin and such... I used to look at it over and over again... after 32 years I still remember that fun creepy feeling I'd get from those pages- this picture brings about that same feeling... fun-creepy-fun-creepy-fun!:-) oh gross- but the perfect image to attract new followers I’m sure.

It seems that there is not a universal solution? It could be I have created a conflict within the CSS style? I don't know, but it is on my radar to fix along with the footer tag. Thanks for catching "Sponsor." If I didn't regularly spell so bad, that might have been embarrassing. As for the lettering. I am using ITC Bradley Hand. It was (and is) a placeholder for a font yet undiscovered for which I am searching. I am trying to balance a handwritten style, a full ASCII Character set with font hinting, a larger x-height for readability, and an overall pleasing design. You are correct that this font falls short in a lot of these areas. Hopefully we will nail this down soon. It is important for me to keep a (legible) handwritten story integrated with the comic for visual continuity. The book layout (if any emerges) will reflect a lot of the aspects of a non linear journal with an underlying story line that ties it all together. There are numerous details to nail down before (if) that happens. Thank you for correct and astute observations. I appreciate it. BTW, the secondary "repeat" of the story, along with having the advantage of being easier to read, also kicks my SEO stats. Even if I find the perfect font which is ultimately built into the raster image, I don't think I would remove it from the searchable text that appears below. Thanks everyone for reading. ;-)
