Inner peace waits anywhere. It mostly waits far away from other people though.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That font is really tough to read for me
My handwriting has always been my achilles heel.
You should try writing with your hands instead of your heel
Now you tell me...
oh it's actually not a font at all? I mean it's neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help
Thanks for the feedback, will try :)
I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren't doing any favors either. Maybe that's just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?
I can read it just fine. It looks nice.
I made a font of my neatest lettering just for this purpose, so I could type in my words while still mostly keeping the homemade aesthetic.
Nowadays even Paint should have writing functionality. Or half of the viewer programs.
Yeah, but that'd look so... nonpersonal.
Your art style or your writing style? Anyways...
Yeah, I tend to search for my individual fulfillment in the square borders of the panels, that's gotta be enough.
Same!
Why?
Though to say but I think a large part is the very narrow letter spacing
All caps, while being very small and dense. More spacing, bigger size of the words and maybe even the use of non-capped letters would make it easier to read.
Good comic though.
First comics didn't have all-caps-writing and the consensus was that that was much worse... I'll try to be less dense though. I'll also work on my handwriting.
Have you thought about simply using a handwritten type font? You could even create a font from your own handwriting so that it still has your style, but you only have to take the time for each letter once.
Or if you want to improve your handwriting, that is also great to strive for I guess. Do whatever brings joy in your life :)
