All handwriting is the same in the DD universe, for individual characters? Nah.

http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2003-12-29

It's in odd script and written in blood, but it's not the same handwriting.

Ditto. http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2003-11-05

http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-07-12

It looks like Dominic is not printing, rather, using running writing, which would therefore be different handwriting.

And again.

And finally:

Jacob. Way too cool for paper. : P (Not real example. =_=)

I also do know that these aren't particuarly strong examples, but I really can't be stuffed to go through the archives any longer looking for more. Although I didn't stumble across anything that looked the same as Gregory's supposed handwriting. It looks like a printed cover.

Also, I find it interesting that Mookie might have changed his mind reguarding texts. It's arguable whether the text the Sturz and the Infernomancer are reading early in the comic were the original universe wide language, or perhaps a special language designed for magical contracts.

To be honest it all looks like scribble to me. But then again they are unique scribbles... I think.

Edit:

It seems to be roughly the same hand writing style, though one is used for a banner.

Well, to be honest me too, but since I can't find any written documents that show that any characters do have the same handwriting as Gregory, I'll assume the more likely theory that different character's handwriting varys, although that might be a difficult thing for any artist to portray. : )

yeah it's pretty horrible. Especially if you need to do large amounts of it. I think mainly people just use different variety of computer fonts to accentuate difference in styles. Though since Mookie does his text by hand, I suppose it a bit more tricky.

Works for me. Saw it coming.

...and Matt? Cthulu is an alternate account owned by a particular forum member...

I would like to point out that such a nickname for Mathias is inappropriate, because I spent a good 5 minutes wondering why the hell you were telling me something I already knew.

Oh, yeah, sorry Matt. Going by current nicknames, I guess. I did mean Mathias. Was in a hurry when I posted that, so I just took a lazy man's shortcut.

Still unimpressed. Since everyone almost guaranteed this would happen earlier, and said it wouldn't make things better, I'm surprised that now that it's happened it does make things better to you.

I'm still not very impressed, really.

Although, I would like to point out, considering that Gregory lived most of his life as a cripple, the idea of drawing himself as a superhero in a comic book is.... a depressing thought.

Of course, it's been so long since Gregory's been a cripple that everyone in the DD verse seems to have forgotten that.

While I mostly agree, I would think that someone physically disabled having an escapist fantasy is actually realistic.

That's what I meant. I meant thinking about poor crippled Gregory wanting to be a superhero makes me sad.

I just also wanted to point out that Gregory ever having been a cripple seems to be long forgotten by everyone, even his own brother.

Oh. That's just beyond sad.

I didn't really mind this strip. It's okay. There isn't anything that hasn't been implied for a while, and I do find some form of explanation for Supergreg made me feel a bit better about the whole thing.

And I assume Miranda or Donovan wrote out the cover of the Supergreg book. No eight year old's handwriting is that neat. Razz

Edit: Yeah. MGL called it yesterday.


So did I. And I've been calling for it for about the entire arc, along with Incredible Bulk and The Elven Torch. :P

This would make up for the arc, but the subtle hints are not dropped at the end of the arc, they're dropped DURING. It's called FORESHADOWING. -_-;

Listening to dominic go blah blah blah for a week doesn't fix a badly written arc.
