Hee hee! I have to confess that I have no idea what 'a font that looks like talk' is supposed to look like, but [livejournal.com profile] todayiamadaisy clearly does :). I never think about fonts that way myself - but I do think that it's best to avoid fancy fonts in speech bubbles unless they serve a particular purpose, like giving information about a voice or a language or something.

I have pretty much settled for Red State, Blue State. I tried a few others before presenting the first digitally-lettered page, but I thought they were not as easy to read as this one.

Digital lettering is kind of convenient. You can centre it automatically, go back to correct mistakes, and everything is always neatly aligned :). I like hand-lettering, but digital is the more practical option (and more obviously practical than colouring digitally - lettering in Photoshop is a breeze, even for me!).
