>There are people on this planet who get filtered by the cursiveHas that ever happened to you?A comic becomes unreadable solely because of the font?
I don't remember it ever bothering me in Year One, but I couldn't stand it in the Shade miniseries Robinson did as a spinoff of Starman. Between the form of the cursive, the snobby prose of the character and the sheer amount of it was not worth the effort.
>>151954739Personally, it’s not that I can’t read cursive I just find the actual legibility of the typeface in Y1 and Cooke’s Ego too distorted. Im sure there are some zoomers that find it difficult but Gen X and Boomers acted like us millennial didnt learn cursive when it was never true that school stopped teaching it. My zoomer cousins were taught too. It’s like being told my generation cant read clocks or dont remember rotary phones. It simply isn’t true.
>>151954739I vaguely remember some Lucky Luke comics with brief cursive segments (letters, telegrams) where the handwriting was hard to decipher. On the other hand, I was reading a local translation. The writing may have been more legible in the original French comics, or other translations.The Joker's dialogue in Morrison's Arkham Asylum was annoying to read because of the typeface. It was hard to decipher as it was, plus the lack of speech bubbles made it blend into the backgrounds.
>>151954739the cursive in Batan/Grendel was always harder to read for me than in Year One
Cursive is one of the gayest fonts ever. Whatever the fuck they do in Euro comics is the worst though. Shit is so tiny I get a migraine from the strain
>>151954739Year One's cursive is pretty clear but Sandman had some hideous cursive.
>>151954739I got filtered by Year One's cursive when I first tried reading it a long time ago. Then I read it again years later and somehow cursive wasn't a problem anymore.Then there's cursive writing that's just poor handwriting.
>>151954739Hadn't read cursive in ages so when I got to those parts I did think of looking up the script online or something for a moment but I took it as a challenge and just pushed through and forced myself to remember the letters I had forgotten and I got through it with no problems. It was even a more remarkable experience because of it.
