A comic book panel showing gnome-people saying, "I am a gnome!" at the same time.

Comic book panel showing one person smacking another in the face with a skateboard and saying "GET AWAY!". The sound effect is THWACK.

A comic book panel showing an evil-looking fancy old man saying, "Haha, yes it is me! Go on, keep clapping!". Several "CLAP"s are clustered around the speech bubble.

A comic book page listing the tracks of "The Unofficial 'Basement Show' Soundtrack".

Ha! Of course it's because of typewriters. Interesting how tradition can persist even when the limitations that led to those traditions no longer apply.

Oh yeah, heard the movie is basically a pretty-looking music video for NIN and I am FINE with that

I think a modified screenplay style works great!

My other half @makestuffjohn.bsky.social actually created a pretty comprehensive template that we've used for a few projects so far:

It's wild that we still don't have a commonly accepted comic script format. Basically every script I get is different from the next, with varying levels of technical or layout issues. (But hey, we're all out here doing our best.)

Keep your letterer happy with these tips from @blambot.bsky.social 🥰

Tips from comic book letterer Nate Piekos about how to prepare a script for lettering use. These include writing in sentence case and sending the script in Word or other text-based format.

Loved experimenting with manga-style lettering! Special thanks to @sara.pizza's amazing resources (particularly on text placement & balloon styles)

The double tails coming from the joined balloon at the top is sending me 😅

I feel like the letterer is going rogue with the word balloons. There's so many, dog. Usually they might have, at most, two per person panel. One for the top, one for the bottom.
