My own lettering is awful, and my process precludes hand-lettering. I need to be able to bang out a week of strips in one or two days sometimes, and hand-lettering would render that all but impossible.
At the very least, the learning curve would set me back several months.
Regardless, you make good points. I try to make sure that my choice of fonts fits the style of the strip, and that the text is always readable. It's definitely more readable than if I tried to hand-write it.
Dude, you ever see my penmanship skills? I am an artist not a calligrapher.
