      Applying some random jitter to individual letters’ size, baseline offset, and rotation can introduce a bit of chaos, if that’s desirable.

      I'm gonna have to look in that for sure! I think it's pretty easy with the blambot fonts.

      Sometimes you can even have the type expanding outside the confines of word balloons.

      Also a good idea! Thank you 😃

        All of the speech bubbles look fine, except perhaps the "Martin!" one where the brother has his first bit of dialogue.

        My shouty bubbles do not read as shouty bubbles. Ah well 🙂

        Thanks for the feedback! It's adding a little bit more polish every time!

          The art and style look really great (love it), the balloon shapes are better placed on the second version though I like the shapes they had on the first one the most (the spikes did felt like more than one character was speaking though).

          You can check some tips from Nate Piekos at his website Blambot (he is a pro letterer and also has different comic book fonts available as well).

          You can read the tips here:
          https://blambot.com/pages/comic-book-grammar-tradition
          https://blambot.com/pages/lettering-tips

          He also just released a book about lettering that could be worth a read too:
