Latest Font Sightings
Thursday, October 9, 2003A few weeks ago I was walking down Bloor street and saw that the new Bubble Tea place was using my font Girls are Weird on their posters, menus, and now I see, their website as well.
I also rented Season 3 of HBO’s Mr. Show on DVD. And, like the first DVD collection, they use my font Horse throughout the interactive menus. So thank-you, Bob and David, for your keen typograhic eye! TARADALOO, THE BOB! TARADALOO!
And one reader wrote in to tell me that he spotted my font Canker Sore near the end of the latest issue (#52) of Daredevil. I popped into the local comic store at lunch today to check out, and lo and behold, there it was! I can’t say I’ve ever read a Daredevil comic, and I’m not going to start now, but it’s still pretty cool. Besides, it gives me a leg up on the old “Six Degrees of Ben Affleck” game.
Let me know if you see my fonts anywhere else!

That’s cool man. I bet your proud to see your fonts popping up here and there.
I think your fonts are awesome. I’ve used them for various sample layouts.
But, remember… Bob and David, Bubbletee and Marvel owe you a toy from your list.
Make them pay! You deserve it.

Have you already said, 1034329 times, if it’s a pamie-inspired font?
Robot Johnny says:
Considering ‘Girls are Weird’ is about 7 years old, the real question is, was her book inspired by me?
kartooner says:
I think you need the recognition from these companies that “borrowed” your font. I’ll be on the look out for other sightings .. I swear I’ve seen a few of your fonts scattered across the ‘net.
Robot Johnny says:
Various versions of my fonts are floating around the net on other people’s font depositories without their original readme files, so it’s no real wonder that I don’t hear from most “clients”.
kevin says:
dude, you should sue Marvel Comics!
ryan says:
Bah, those fonts are sub par....
[/troll] [flamewar]…
Robot Johnny says:
You’ll get no argument from me there… My three-year old son could make a better font than Canker Sore. And I don’t even HAVE a three-year old son.
Llord says:
I have used various Robot Johnny fonts in school projects. What do I owe you?
Robot Johnny says:
Your first born. And a quesadilla.
Zombie Claire says:
Hahahahh Johnny was in a Daredevil comic!
