Gilbert Hernandez’s new graphic novel Sloth is out. That should be fun. Thanks to Kevin for the heads up.
I do not like the type face Copperplate Gothic Bold or any of it’s variations, but the world has a boner for it. Someday I’ll take pictures of every instance of Copperplate Gothic Bold that I see while walking around — it’s everywhere, still. That’s right, Mitch, I’m talking about fonts!
On my iTunes now:
Child Star by The Unicorns from "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?"

I guess I won’t invite you to share my double bill at the Gotham Comedy Club.

Maybe you can set up a bancomicsans.com for copperplate.
As far as I’m concerned, it became “over done” in 1994.

My favorite online comic, Achewood, is very anti-Copperplate.
I feel like hating fonts is something people who have favorite online comics do, in general.

“I do not like the type face Copperplate Gothic Bold or any of it’s variations…”
Dude, aren’t you a “writer”. The word is “its”.

That’s true. It should have been “its.” English language saved, Bobo!
The typeface is still overused, though.

The dyslexic in me wants to point out that “copperplate” does look a lot like the word “corporate”. Damn that man. Also, I feel that the font “copperplate” also looks like “the man”. That is all.

Is it all thick serifed fonts, or just copperplate in general? I just used Engravers for a thing and would rather keep it away from you if it’s going to be an issue.
