A cartoonist mutters to himself about pens

You'll notice that I've given up on using Italic Pentels for my lettering. They tend to spread and become too broad too quickly, and the lettering tends to overpower the artwork style that has developed over the last few years. It's also become a bit unclear to read when reduced to GoComics 600 pixel wide size. So I've returned to plain old Tempo pens from Paper Mate. However, pen snobs will be glad to know I continue to use obscure Japanese stylus pens for the main artwork, and a Muji brush calligraphy pen for filling in the blacks.

(Secretly, we're all stationery freaks, aren't we?)
