    Skyker? It’s not like they are typing. These look like hand lettered text. And there are two people involved. How did that get past anyone?

    Might be hand-lettered in Korea by somebody who doesn’t speak English and just transcribes the text that was emailed to him… complete with typos…

    OTOH, there are comic strip fonts that vary letters slightly to give a hand-lettered look. This could very well have been typed.

    I don’t know the answer to the teacher’s question, but the one with priapism was Marshal Ardor.

    NONE of these comics are hand lettered anymore! it’s also NOT that hard to have a cartoonist’s writing turned into a computer font. There are dozens of programs that’ll do it.

    Heck, these programs can take YOUR writing and adjust it and make it ‘perfect’.

    From a sleep disorders website:

    Winston Churchill has often been linked with narcolepsy but this is most likely a result of his abnormal sleep patterns due to his high pressure role, particularly during World War II.

    I googled “narcolepsy famous people” but most pages returned the same names over and over again. Only one mentioned Churchill.

    The comments were much more amusing than the forced humor of the panel. This strip is turning into a bad stand-up routine…

    One of Washington’s Generals had narcolepsy. The one who took Charleston from the British, I think. I can;t think of his name & don’t bet on my having the right battle,

    Churchill was a “heto” in the Boer War because he was very creative in the way he told the story of his escape.

    Well, if any of you picked “Ushindi”, you’re wrong - I’ve never had narcolepsy…

    After about four hours at night, I never fall asleep in front of my computer. However, I frequently wake up here…

    Hand lettered in Korea? Pluggers don’t outsource.
