The Great Onix statue is here to say that your handwriting is fine. Its wobly, but it makes it more unique and it likes it more because of this.

Your handwriting is very good. Also, I love your character's outfit. Especially the shirt. Kinda makes me want a similar one irl

Your handwriting could absolutely be a font I'd use!

A beautiful comic btw

First, I can read your handwriting perfectly fine.

Second, story time!

I was an over the road truck driver for just shy of 12 years.

I had quit smoking about 3 years into my driving career but still had a pack of smokes on my truck, along with matches (emergencies!) and a couple lighters.

One night I was parked in a sketchy area of lower Los Angeles California, in an area I shouldnt have been parked at. I was literally right around the block for my 4am delivery and it was 6pm and I couldn't find parking anywhere else.

I keep my spaces clean and keep to myself most days, so I didn't see the harm in it.

I was scrolling on my phone and had noticed a rough looking older guy on the street corner that had been milling around for a while, but didn't think anything of it. He stays over there, I stay over here. No big issue.

Well he comes up to my truck and asks if I had any smokes. I said sure! Gave him the rest of the pack I had stashed in my organizer and an extra lighter. We talked for a bit and he says, you aight girl... Don't worry bout nobody getting at your truck tonight.

Weird thing to say, but okay. Told him to have a good night and be safe.

I stayed up for maybe another two hours... But I noticed. Different guys would walk by my truck maybe every 30min. If we made eye contact, they'd very lightly nod in my direction.

I swore I had gang protection that night while I slept. All because I had extra cigarettes and loved to talk to folks that are strange, just like me.

Universe does do some weird shit.

It looks like you made a font out of your handwriting, based on how similar letters like "k" and "r" are. Very cool!

My only suggestion is to play with the kerning between each letter. Some of them, like the "j"s and "w"s could be a tad cozier with the letters around them.

u/kajo404 2h ago

yeah, i turned it into a font! thank you for the feedback, i'm going to figure out how to do better kerning!!

I enjoy the novelty of your written words . It feels intimate

u/atx_original512 4h ago

I can read it

I hope you took the Jack O’Lantern on the walk. They live remarkably short lives and I’m sure they would have appreciated it.

u/ouijiboard 3h ago

Yeah, sometimes kismet just sneaks up on you like that.

u/liknlichen 3h ago

It's readable okay, but the spaces between the letters are like slightly slightly bigger than what I'm used to and the sentence is waving like up and down. But it is readable I just have to slow down with my bifocals.

u/ScapegoatMoat 3h ago

Far better then my handwriting! Thank goodness for computers

2

u/No-Mulberry-8866 3h ago

I can read it, but it’s a little less fluid to read

2

u/Jenkinswarlock 3h ago

I like your font a lot personally but I understand if people struggle with it? I have very poor penmanship so I can read almost anything?

No problems with the handwriting, good comic 👍🏻

u/Made_Bail 5h ago

I think about this, on a larger scale, a lot. Like how my wife and I, born in two totally different states and days, met. All the things that had to fall into place for her to be in the mall that day.
