Designer Eric Tan’s blog is just a joy to peruse. I could just wade around in it for days.
Here’s a few reasons why:

Ultimate Comic Sans Answers
So a few days ago I posted my Ultimate Comic Sans made entirely of letters from artists’ signatures and asked to see if anyone could guess them.
A few folks so far have gotten some (usually E, L, S & T), but I think it’s been long enough, so here’s the answers:
- A – Charles Addams
- B – Lynda Barry
- C – Milton Caniff
- D – Jim Davis
- E – Will Eisner
- F – Jules Feiffer
- G – Matt Groening
- H – Syd Hoff
- I – Ub Iwerks
- J – Lynn Johnston
- K – Bil Keane
- L – Gary Larson
- M – Winsor McCay
- N – Thomas Nast
- O – Pat Oliphant
- P – Peyo
- Q – Joe Quesada
- R – Alex Raymond
- S – Charles Schulz
- T – Garry Trudeau
- U – Jim Unger
- V – P.C. Vey
- W – Bill Watterson
- X – OK, I couldn’t really come up with one for X, so I just used my own handwriting.
- Y – Chic Young
- Z – Jack Ziegler
So how’d you do?
Andertoons Chocolate
You might remember that a few years ago I sent out a chocolate bar imprinted with one of my cartoons for a year-end gift to clients. Well, it seems like this year one of my clients had a similar idea:
Mmm nom nom nom… So good!
Eye Cartoons
See tons of great eyes cartoons here at Andertoons. Watch out!
(BTW, you can embed cartoons on your blog too!)
Ultimate Comics Sans
So a lot of people really hate Comic Sans.
I can’t say I’m wild about it, but I didn’t really give it a lot of thought. At least until recently.
I thought it might be fun to build the ultimate Comics Sans out of famous cartoonists and comic artists’ signature. And after a bit of Googling and scanning, I have it:
Each letter is the first letter of the last name of a famous artist’s signature. Here’s an example to get you started – the letter "A" is the "A" from Charles Addams’ signature. Make sense?
See if you can guess the rest! I’ll post the answers in another blog post.
Have fun!
UPDATE – The answers are up! Go see how you did!
