Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My handwriting has always been my achilles heel.
You should try writing with your hands instead of your heel
Now you tell me...
oh it's actually not a font at all? I mean it's neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help
Thanks for the feedback, will try :)
I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren't doing any favors either. Maybe that's just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?
I made a font of my neatest lettering just for this purpose, so I could type in my words while still mostly keeping the homemade aesthetic.
I can read it just fine. It looks nice.
Nowadays even Paint should have writing functionality. Or half of the viewer programs.
Yeah, but that'd look so... nonpersonal.
Your art style or your writing style? Anyways...
Yeah, I tend to search for my individual fulfillment in the square borders of the panels, that's gotta be enough.
