Pet peeve time: I beg of you, graphic novel creators, either get a professional letterer or just use an off-the-shelf readable typeface. I don't mind reading the odd hot mess of a story, but when the lettering itself is a hot mess also, it's a no from me. I'm not interested in your first draft.

Texreader Oh my goodness! Agreed! 2w
DogMomIrene Yeah, that‘s a hot mess😬 As I‘ve gotten older, the all caps fonts irritate me too. White space, people. It‘s your friend. 2w
Lauredhel @DogMomIrene yes! All caps are fine for a shopping list or a prescription, but they're objectively harder to read for long form text 2w
Lauredhel @DogMomIrene I have read a LOT of graphic novels this year and have extremely strong opinions about lettering and font sizes now 2w

2 ⭐This is a DNF at 4%. The story starts off with the father, leaving the children, the mom spaced out, lost in her own little world, and then chapter 2 has the mom telling the kids is going to be a new daddy. I‘m just not in a mood for something that seems so depressing. Add to that the art style looks like something that came from a semi talented high school student before they‘ve had a lot of practice.
