As a couple of the characters and several readers have noted, NanoMan probably wasn’t ‘alive’ in the first place, so he isn’t ‘dead’ at the moment.\u00c2\u00a0 I was going to have him launch into this big speech about how the last bits of his organic self have been killed, but I get the sense that regular readers out there have figured that out already.\u00c2\u00a0 So, to keep the story moving, I’m going to skip that chunk of exposition and continue forward.<\/p>\n
I am going to have NanoMan speak in a different ‘robotic’ font to emphasize his now non-human aspect (it’s called Area51 from Comicraft for you font fans) so if you’re the kind of person who hears the character voices in your head, it should be a colder and more robotic voice than before.<\/p>\n
Regular readers have probably also figured out that I am a big fan of fancy fonts.\u00c2\u00a0 I think the biggest inspiration for that is the old Walt Kelly comic strip Pogo<\/em><\/strong>, which is one of the all-time great comic strips.\u00c2\u00a0 Walt Kelly was not only a great cartoonist, but a gifted calligrapher, and when one of his characters spoke with a fancy affectation or a pretentious tone, Kelly would fill his word balloons with wonderful hand-crafted dialog.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’ve never read any of Walt Kelly’s work, you should check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a couple of the characters and several readers have noted, NanoMan probably wasn’t ‘alive’ in the first place, so he isn’t ‘dead’ at the moment.\u00c2\u00a0 I was going to have him launch into this big speech about how the last bits of his organic self have been killed, but I get the sense that […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[3,102,110],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.henchmenonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
