Does VC have some kind of death grip on the industry? Every time I see a comic it's lettered by VC's Someone or other. Also how many books could you letter in a month without feeling like you were killing yourself?

This is probably the stupidest entry level question possible, but are you actually writing the letters in the word balloons or just using a font?

I feel kind of bad because so many people itt have favorite letterers. I guess I kind of overlook their contributions, what should I look for in order to better appreciate lettering?

Minister of Sound posted:It takes me maybe 1-5 minutes to figure out the shape and color. But for the word itself, the writers or editors usually cook it up themselves. I used to do it myself if they couldn't think of anything, but they'd always change it on me and I'd have to start all over again. So now when a script says "SFX AS APPROPRIATE" or some such, I drop a huge "SFX AS APPROPRIATE" across the panel until they think of something better. What are your favorite onomatopoeiae?

Minister of Sound posted:My favorites are the ones that make no effort whatsoever to look like a sound, such as these two from The Incredible Hercules. I see you lettered Siege #3, was SOUNDOFREALITYBEINGTORNAPART your idea?
