I also loved how the exhibit made space for print production, which in itself is an art worth celebrating

I’m a big Rumiko Takahashi fan, and I’ve always wondered how her art from 2020 and 1990 can look so similar. If you look closely at the original art pages, you can see why: she’s using the same techniques.

I saw the Art of Manga exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum today, and I think it’s a must-see for any manga fans in the NYC area!! I keep mentioning it to folks who say they’ve never even heard about it, so def tell your friends!

My fourth font for the @cartoonist.coop Letterer Challenge 2026! This prompt was "Horror", as if that wasn't obvious! It has lots of alternate characters! You can download it here: chaseburns.itch.io/scrawling-da... #font #openfontlicense #lettererchallenge2026

an image displaying "Scrawling Darkly", a gritty comic book font.

there's a speech balloon that reads "Wanna hear how long I can scream? Aaaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeeee!!! Hold on, let me try that again..."

Made for the Cartoonists United Letterer Challenge 2026

another image displaying "Scrawling Darkly", a gritty comic book font.

Uses opentype ligatures to switch up side-by-side duplicate characters. Vowels have 4 alternates! Alts can also be picked manually, for variety.

Displaying this feature is a speech balloon that reads "Thiiisss iiisss hooow slowwlllyy I caaaaan taaallkk" and 4 "urgh!"s with different alternate letters.

Good for sound effects (Maybe even better than for dialogue…). Demonstrating this are stylized sound effects that reads "Splat", "Aaaiiieeee!!!", and "drip drip".

another image displaying "Scrawling Darkly", a gritty comic book font. this one displays all of the characters included in the font, with many alternates.

the bathroom+sports stuff get a lot of attention, but imagine what it’s like to live not knowing if you’ll be able to pass a background check for a job, or if you’ll be able to renew your drivers license, or if you’ll be able to open a bank account, or if the government will take away your kids

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

7. Ethical concerns
8. Legal concerns
