Looks good Ray!

ChrisL

I've added Ray's comic to our repository of "Serifs by Hand" and I dare say his work is one of the finest examples. Imperfect and delightful.

Really good work and well done hand-drawn Ray.

Is it a newspaper, magazine or a book? Which size has it?

André

It is published in a "The Coast", which is an alternative weekly newspaper here.

They're terrific Ray!
It is so good to see hand-work at that scale and level.
The beauty is in varying letterforms, hand-penned, not "perfect" or sterile... the viewer is reminded that EACH CHARACTER was crafted and like snowflakes none are identical.

A good reminder that we needn't be so font dependent all the time.

Can somebody tell me what font was used for the Coca-Cola script? ;-)

Quite lovely and amusing. But I regret to say my doppleganger must think the opposite and have a stronger opinion of it, to boot. :)

Ray, your work is amazing. If I could doodle a quarter of what you can draw and letter I'd be a happy person.

Yes, beautiful work Ray!!

Humane, literate and charming. Rare qualities. Congratulations!

Ray, your work is beautiful and inspiring – I always look forward to your posts on Flickr.

Simply beautiful. I won't say more. Great work.

Nice! I love it when comics and typography/design merge. I need to peruse these at length this weekend. Keep it up and welcome to Typophile (participation).

Possible commercial idea: Imagine some Typophile t-shirts in this style. Wouldn't that be nice?

I've been trying to prod Typophile back into the T-shirt business but have not been hearing any responses. This would be another good reason to pursue it.

Yes Chris! This could be Your mission, this could be Your very own Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam!

"Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam!"

Yup, that too:-)

Totally off-topic: for those who have sold t-shirts before, do you happen to know the ratio of t-shirt sizes people get? E.g. 25% S, 40% M, 25% L, 10% XL. Thanks!

Are you a genius? Yes No Explain. Brilliant

Dan,
Are you referring to Cato the Elder? Fredo's Latin remark was quoted from Cato who ended every speech with it. (Carthage must be destroyed)
I think Fredo was saying that I should end every post with "Put Typophile back into the T-shirt business"
My knowledge of Latin is suspect though.

I love faux type. Amazing stuff, man.
