Thinking about the way Wayne Truman drew sound effects for manga that didn't match the style of the originals but still burst with energy. The full color version of Dragon Ball has the original sound effects so it's used for comparison here.

There just isn't enough time in a day for lettering simuls, lettering graphic novels, go for a walk, eat food, stare off into space, consume a weed, stare off into space, watch funny let's plays, play video game, eat chip, Mountain Dew, sleep. It's a sad sad sad world

The death of physical media seems like a small thing practically but in essence it represents the total dissolution of games as “objects of art” and instead reduces them purely to “intellectual property”. It’s a slow disaster but if you care about games as an art form it IS a disaster.

I'm a 28 year old man, I should be allowed to eat a chicken sandwich if I want.

Does anyone know if there are examples of Lee Harvey Oswald's handwriting where he wrote in print? Everything I can find is in cursive.

It is fucking ridiculous how much an airliner can charge to sit in the most uncomfortable seat ever for hours and try to swindle you into spending more to sit in something acceptable. You get nowhere to put your fucking arms and taking a nap is literally impossible. Inhumane bullshit.

That's right it's one of the greats

Billy Bat sound effects thread! Brendon (@lettererbrendo.bsky.social) and I adore the way Urasawa draws sound effects, and are so excited to adapt the Billy Bat sound effects into English. For years, we'd talked about the quirks they have and how to replicate them. Here's a thread of comparisons!

getting aidan and brendon to letter billy bat is the biggest slam dunk in manga localization history. no one could’ve done it better 👏

Billy Bat volume 1 is out in English now! It's my favorite comic ever, and I'm so grateful that I get to letter this edition alongside @lettererbrendo.bsky.social. We literally fantasized for years about stylistic choices we would make if we ever got to letter it, and I want to share about those!

Adobe should fucking pay me back a year's worth of my subscription for the amount of agony I go through when Photoshop arbitrarily decides that because I have an image rotated it will stop working and make me force close it with no autosave.
