The System 166

March 5th, 2009

UPDATE: Available now at Hilariawesome.com, my online store!

It’s true. I’m making T-Shirts. Soon as I get the store up, I’ll show them to you. Meanwhile, post your typeface / font puns below. Also thought of for this strip:

Never an Aksidenz.
We make tracking.

Let me join the bike font gang!
John Eddy

I'm forming a rival bike gang *and* I'm going to make a business out of it.

We'll be the Couriers, Arial way to deliver with Gothic Impact (sorry Jamie, had to reuse Impact)
pottymouth

count me in.

I'm making a t-shirt, too, having nothing to do with typefaces.

"put the car back in carnage"

grr.

I put the Web in Webdings.
My Wild West shirt: I'm the Serif in these parts.

Comic Sans is mourning the loss of his girlfriend, Verdana.
Comic Sans MS: Don't try to Console me, Lucida.
Lucida Console: Ever since Verdana's died, you've been Sans comedy, Comic.

  You botched it! It's acually:
  "Get with the Times, New Roman!"

No, thats good.

TECHNIC-ally that GRAPHITE is too LIGHT. Buy the new SWIS BLK for $7.21! Our managers BERNARD and ROCKWELL can COURIER your ELEPHANT anywhere from BERLIN to GEORGIA!

I'm sadly NOT going to come up with a lame pun right now. I'm so not quick enough to be a comic. But you can count me in on the designing biker gang. Totally.
WAIT:

While in jersey you and I should get our white Casl-on.
Kalhie

I also want to be a part of the gang, only I am a frustrated graphic designer (I went for fashion design instead, it gave me possibility of traveling!)

Rock the Caslon!

  Ouch. Hilarious, but ouch.

Your wish is my command. There is now a Hell-Vetica Cycling Club.
Go to bikejournal.com, and look up bike clubs in Yukon Territories, Canada. (I thought it would be the only one there, it's not!… And Yukon Territories just sounds funny.) Or look at my profile, KrateKraig, in the Club section.

Please contact me if you'd like to take control of the club, as I'm not a "graphic designer",. (But I do create my own album/CD covers.)

OK, I changed the location of the club to District Of Columbia, USA.
(Almost as funny)

So I just found your comic via Reddit, and am currently reading through all of them.

Helvetica is Swiss.

You give me a huge Bodoner

Being a Helvetica fanboy, I am obligated to join. My motto:
"WWJM-BD?"
