#augh I kinda want to recolor the first pages of chapter one

[forgettable-au]

So, dingbat fonts.

Skeletons can understand them, and no one else.

Do you have any ideas on why that is?

Like, what is different about skeletons that makes it understandable to them?

Is it that they can see the written-out message of what’s spoken? (explanation I first saw in Handplates)

And why is font changing difficult? What kind of „tiring” is it (as in, what can this kind of effort be compared to? Speaking a language you’re only starting to learn? Something else?)

Sorry for the question avalanche but I can’t stop thinking about it

Also good lord the colors in this comic are so good, if i was less lazy and color theory-hating i would definitely study em or something

Skeletons can understand them cause their hearing works differently, that's how they can identify a font by just listening to the other skeleton! If not, how would they know how to name their babies that can't really talk or write yet? It's about how they sound

Changing font is difficult because it requires an extra effort you wouldn't normally make: Imagine speaking another lenguage while speaking in a baby voice constantly

It wouldn't bother you if you do it as a joke and you can get used to it, but it would be annoying for long periods of time!

I imagine it's like that for most skeletons, but it was probably harder for Wingdings since he had to change from symbols to letters, not from letters to other letters

Hehe also thanks! I put a lot of effort on the colors!
