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.

No but I do understand where they are coming from. Can I read it? Yes. Is it hard to read? No. However for me it is oddly... uncomfortable... to read. Thats the best way I can describe it. I normally scan read the text and the way I understand it is that when people read like this they are looking for the overall shapes of words, not the individual letters, which is why it is possible to misspell the middle letters of words without causing too much issue with comprehension. However for me the way the letters are 'weighted' in the font is like a visual speedbump, they draw attention to themselves in a way which, for me, is unwanted and causes me to slow and change how I read each word.
I've noticed it before but I can't say I particularly care, it isn't like I'm reading prose. If this helps others then I think it is great that it is being used.
Thanks for putting it into words for me, that is a great summary. It is irritating to read, but not illegible. I agree that it's great as an accessibility tool
Same, it just makes me feel a bit uncomfortable when reading.. But as long as it helps other people it's cool
