Sometimes even my stone cold assembled heart can create something like this This marks the end of this little mini, and the new story will begin tomorrow. I’m finally beginning to get stuff for sale, you’ll notice I did the lettering by hand today, and you have the option to buy the original strip below (which is inked without color on 7″ x 17″ bristol board)

What’s this? Hand-written dialogue?

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Yes, my first attempt… need a lot of practice yet.

http://journalincomix.wordpress.com Joe

You… couldn’t make this a font could you? I kinda like it.

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

I probably could… I have made fonts before http://www.dafont.com/abusive-pencil.font

you stopped loving Komika?
http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

I do like Komika, but using hand lttering is one fear I have where I want to tackle.

oh fuck.
You made that one!? I used it on a project for school!!
http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Haha, that’s crazy, yeah, I won some small award for that font, I just sketched it on paper and live traced it in Illustrator

oh my god that’s nuts…

Awesome. But totally nuts.

DO IT. Because, with all the fonts I’m hoarding, I could totally use more. Especially the font from the comic. I would be a very happy camper.

BTW… Wanted to ask… How do you make a font?
I’ve been wondering about that… wanted to maybe turn my handwritting into one, lol…

I used fontlab studio 5 at the time, that was 2 years ago mind you
ReySquared

wait holyshit YOU made Abusive Pencil? I had that font until my computer crashed like two years ago and I didn’t remember where I got it
http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

haha yeah, it was the first and only font i ever made, I wanted to see if I could do it I put it on dafont.com and love the other fonts there!

I think handwritten gives a personal touch.

I like it, Not much of a fan using Illustrator to do my text.

I agree, Really liking the new handwritten stuff. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of it in the future. Plus I’m sure it cuts down on time using illustrator.

Before, I admired you because I can’t draw and you can, now I have to admire you because I can’t write and you can. Beside this, is this a picture or the real outside in the third panel? All these coded message paintings hanging in the flat are confusing me.

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Well thank you, I’m not sure on both of those fronts but I do try. And that is supposed to be the “real outside”. I don’t want to draw a television since I’m not a fan of TV

So what about useless collectible junk like plushies or a t-shirt?

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

T-shirts will be going up next week, and I will be taking preorders on plushies sortly, like 1 or two weeks.

Pissy the penguin! <3

I think the handwritten dialogue gives it a more personal touch, like if Chase was writing himself, that's what it'd look like (I approve of chicken scrawl). I think you should use that more often. And I'd download it as a font too… please?

Other than that, fantastic strip today!

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Thank you! I maybe will make that a font, and once the next story arc starts all my text will be handwritten

mikey

Lol at pissy the penguin

sayward

mikey, i miss your comments terribly. sometimes you come to me in my dreams wearing a plaid lumberjack shirt, but it’s just not the same as the real thing ;(

sagocha

So what your saying is you dream about snarling, rabies infested sealions wearing plaid shirts and trolling on the internet. May please I have some of what your smoking.

Alpha-5

you two really need to fuck each other.

sagocha

@ Mikey, So I see your back… The world just died a little bit more. Although I did happen to stumble accross a youtube video of you in your absence. It was in the same catagory as the PedoBear and Sex offender shuffle. WELCOME BACK

I am going to recreate this moment with my girlfriend!
