Hey I'm slowly working on a thing! I like writing, and I like drawing so I figured, why not combine the two. Sure enough, it's a much slower process, but one that I like more.

My goal is to have more than one a week, but either way, it's still a slow process.
I'm just looking to share a story, but comments and criticisim is very much appreciated.

Rather than lettering by hand, have you considered adding it digitally in post-production? It would make the lettering much easier to read.

Yes I have considered it, but I was hoping not to, because it just seemed like a nice personal touch.
But considering everyone I've shown has mentioned it at least once, I'm guessing I should.

I like it too. It adds character.
What I'm trying to do is be more consistent with the lettering, and I will be more mindful of the size/spacing, and I think that will alleviate the majority of the problems.

Right now, I'm in the process of shrinking the base for the comics, coloring the next set, and lineworking the comic. All the while entertaining out of state guests.
The next comic will be slightly delayed, but I'm hoping to get some serious work done over the weekend. Mostly it's because I've just been super tired, and for some reason I can't draw at all when I'm tired. I just get bored and eat or watch youtube instead.

you could look into making a font out of your handwriting i guess some people do that

i checked to see if the comics i follow actually do that but it seems they draw each letter individiually

I did the exact same thing.
My goal was to do that, I don't know how though. That's why, in the mean time, I'm just working on consistency so it appears to be the case.

Currently I am making the letters bigger, and better spaced. Also because of that I'm able to give them a darker outline.
Witht he newest comic, for any who read it, I would ask that you guys say which panel (lettering) you like best and why?
