Yeah, it occurred to me after I posted that it had a bad double-meaning, but I decided to run with it anyway.

This is one reason why I love C.C. Beck so much:

“Beck: I finished school before the stock-market crash and the Great Depression, so work wasn’t so scarce as it would be soon. I got some work because of my lettering abilities—I’ve always worked hard at lettering, and I’m proud of it. People who know me know that I’ve always said that the lettering is more important than the art. If the lettering is illegible, what good is it? The drawings support the words in the balloons, not the other way around.”

He was a sign painter and it shows. Like Roy Crane his comics hold some kind of mysterious perfect formula for making comics.

Does that last panel suggest you will be generating your comics in Illustrator from here on out? Going for more of an Achewood look?

Good Post David! Italics is easier than ‘regular’ lettering, you’ll be a champ!

Hey, David,
That thing is from this:
http://comicrazys.com/2009/12/01/famous-artists-cartoon-course-lesson-18-lettering/
(Though the version there must be from a different year or something.) There’s also other lessons:

(Not too bad a source for rules…)
