Bleach really had the best lettering and use of design/type out of any mainstream battle manga man.

So effective.

Ichigo Kurosaki yells WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! TELL ME! as Sosuke Aizen watches on in Tite Kubo's Bleach.

A black panel at the bottom reads Edge Of the Silence

I might disappear for a while I’m suffering from severe, crushing depression.
I’am so so so sorry but my family is still lying in the street, in the freezing October cold.
Don’t forget them in your donations they have no one but you. Good bye

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

He got canceled, came back to make a movie that got canceled because Bill Murray was being a massive creep on set, and THEN ruined his ACTUAL big comeback with beloved actors Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, and Keke Palmer to do a quick set for Saudi Arabia. he’s addicted to fucking up

It felt like Aziz Nasari was mostly free of his MeToo rep but then he does Riyadh it's so funny it's like he got used to be being cancelled and couldn't live without it like Brooks on the outside in Shawshank Redemption lol

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

Gamers might be unbeatable in the 'audience that actually despises the artform' department.

No interest in people, humanity, art, or just...life itself.

Just wanton juvenile power fantasies of stunted manchildren.

Corporate IP comics are about daring to posit that Fortnite is the pinnacle of human expression.

An enterprise for chumps.

Sorry to go on, but remember translated manga in the 90s, where they'd flip all of the art out of some fear that Americans wouldn't adapt to right-to-left reading? But readers adapted quick and wanted manga unflipped. The human brain is built more complex than folks give it credit for.

Ariana Maher @airy.bsky.social · 1d

You'd think that lettering is a straightfoward design process -- copy text, draw a balloon, draw a tail, bam -- but depending on the language, culture, creative production, publishing industry, and readership habits, the design language evolves differently and readers adapt to that.
