A TrueType font for cartoonists. After studying many 
different styles of  lettering used in the comics, I saw 
there was enough of a Rcommon threadS to have the 
keyboard (with a few adjustments) replace the bulk of 
the lettering done by pen & ink.

The RthreadS consists of two basic concepts. First, 
cartoonists tend to use all caps (avoiding ascenders & 
descenders for design purposes). Secondly, they use a set 
of letters that represent dialogue (straight pen & ink 
lettering) and another representing expression (POW, 
BANG, Z-Z-Z-Z, WHAM, etc.).

ComicsCarToon is, as you will find, three all caps fonts 
in one (Dialogue & two sets of Expression on one 
keyboard). I felt two sets of expression styles were needed 
for variety Q by using one or the other or intermingled.

Dialogue is all caps and made with lc keys: 
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 -=;',./ also, 
use Shift for !@#$%&*()+:"? <(superscript 00) 
>(superscript 99); and use Option for  "%()*IPRTVX.

The first set of Expression style is all caps made with the 
shift key: use the Shift for 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ and (_) is a 
dash.

The second set of Expression is all caps made with the 
Option-Shift keys: use the Option-Shift keys for 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890 
and I , . ? " = and (\ is :); and use Option for & ( ) , . '! (\ 
is ;) (m is m-dash) and (d is $).

Use for cartooning, eye-catching notices, ad display or to 
convey spontaneous, impulsive expression. Use it for 
copy needing to convey messages of the cartoonist. 
Instead of reaching for the pen and india ink to carefully 
print dialogue inside balloons, you now reach for the 
keyboard, click away, and then surround with a balloon.

Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use and enjoy, honor the 
shareware fee of $14. If you SHARE this font, please 
include all files and documents in one folder.

I currently teach drawing, painting, printmaking, year 
book DTP, and commercial art to future artists, possibly 
typographers (alias) high school students; and  produce 
serious art for local, regional and national juried 
exhibitions and I golf.

History:
Since creating my first font SnyderSpeed Brush (11/91 
v.1 upper case only), the encouragement of shareware 
fees and/or input from users, allowed me to update 
SnyderSpeed by adding lower case (1/92), plus create 
OregonWet (on AOL's Nov. 91 top download's list), 
OregonDry,  MarkerFeltThin 2/92, MarkerFeltWide 4/92 
(used by Aldus Magazine's "New Comics" article, 
pgs.18-20 July/Aug '92 issue) StarsAndStripes 7/92, 
ComicsCartoon 9/92.

%JNote: 9/26/92 Major updates to MarkerFeltThin (v2), 
MarkerFeltWide (v2) and SnyderSpeed Brush (v3) were 
completed 8/92, with 40 new characters and/symbols 
added to each including em and en dashes, bullet, 
#, cents sign,  ellipses, and  ) * (. They haven't yet been 
released via modem or catalog/disk services, as I'm in the 
process of first mailing registered users their free updates 
-- especially users who have registered two or more of my 
fonts. (It DOES pay to support shareware!) This will take 
me another month or two to complete. Then, I'll release 
the updated versions in Type 1 and TT formats. Fonts 
available both in Type 1 and True Type Formats on AOL 
and Type 1 on CompuServe.

Thanks ahead of time for supporting shareware.
