Your version is just more slanty and has fewer loops, but the general shape is pretty much the same.

Thing is: I haven't got the faintest idea just exactly what that something is

Thanks! - didn't help me understand what's going on (didn't that sword come from a stone or an anvil or something? -or is that just a Disenyism or a Pratchettism?) -but always nice to see something from those guys

Did give me something to google though.

Good Lord. That's a lot of" unnecessary" "quotation" "marks," and there's some fairly Random decision-making On capitalization, As Well.

AND which writing to use for capitalization! some of those are cursive (the G) and some aren't (most, if not all, of the rest -they definitely aren't the capitals I was taught back in the seventies).

Fonts matter.

Hugo Rune · October 19 2012, 07:52 PM

On exactly that note, I've recently read the new Hawkeye Marvel comic series from Matt Fraction, and as brilliant as it is, I can never quite get past the font used in the speech bubbles, which makes Clint's name look a little too much like the above cloud writing.

Fraction attempting to amuse his readers further, or just poor font choice?

Hugo - flipping and flopping on that
