Different Fonts for Different Characters?

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on January 19, 2006 - 11:28

Another thread I'm cutting up and hoping to restart: what do you think about using different fonts throughout a comic - I recall of the top that Howard Tayler did this with Schlock Mercenary. It obviously can be used to help define different characters (In the case of Schlock it distinguishes the many types of aliens littered throughout the story) but it could also be used to capture emotional or other differences in the state of a single character.

Or maybe it's all too distracting?

And last this is an interesting bit: Amazon has lifted the earnings cap for affiliates for almost all of its products. If you have an Amazon affiliate account this seems to mean you can make lots more money from referring folks to purchasing products at Jeff Bezos' shop.

Northwest Webcartoonists

Submitted by PotatoKnight on May 2, 2005 - 17:56

Hello,

My name is Connor Moran and I'm working with the Olympia Comics Festival, to be held on May 28th in Olympia, Washington. As a part of that, I'm trying to make contact with webcartoonists who live in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington state, and southern British Columbia). I've made contact with several (the Penny Arcade chaps, Chris Baldwin, and future Seattleite Greg Dean). I also plan on contacting the Foglio people, whose Girl Genius is newly a webcomic.) Is anyone or does anyone know of other webcartoonists who are based out of this region? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Connor Moran
