Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 05, 2021

Back in the antediluvian, once was tasked with reading essays by Freshmen who had been given access to one of those old “vertical” Macintosh computers. They had a lot of fonts. One of the hallmarks of people who had never had a word processor before was how many fonts they used.

It’s very distracting.

Will it really work?

I LIKE it!!!

Font? That guy on Candid Camera?

Use a different font for each letter. Cyber ransom note.

The very first thing you do is disable “send all”.

“Effect” used properly in panel 3. Well done.

I’m impressed that he knows the different between a typeface and a font.

“He wasn’t very font of that, was he”, said Fontzie.

We already have a way to make your message take four times as long.

It’s called autocorrect.

Is Comic Sans one of them? :^)

Though I still don’t understand the hate for it…

Or you use the the sieve of Sokrates. Before saying something, answer three questions: “Is it true?” “Is it good?” “Is it necessary?”
