It's just funnier if he's all upset and mad about us defacing his comics instead.

Maybe to you. To me, that would be...

...slightly worse.

By the way: Kith, your avatar is very distracting (and mildly disturbing). :shock:

Also Prairie and Depth Perception, but those could count as dramatic landscapes

by **Burkitt** » Fri Feb 10, 2012 12:06 am UTC

Prairie and Depth Perception were the ones I was thinking of for dramatic landscapes. I'll give you the others, though I'd argue the point in the strip still stands, as they make far more sparing use of colour than for the car photos.

I knew this would be coming eventually, but I decided to do it myself anyhow.

Keming

Alt: I have never been as self-conscious about my handwriting as when I was inking in the caption for this comic. I.e., I hate you all.

Making that, in turn, inspired me to make one of my own pet peeve:
Aliasing

I was also planning one on JPEGs, which bother me more than either of the above issues, but I'm tired now. Someone else can take their hand at it, if they like.

by **Burkitt** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:07 am UTC

Done!

Ironically, this is actually a PNG to make sure the compression artefacts are preserved.

by **Ephemeron** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:38 am UTC

Someone was inevitably going to do this.

That's nothing. I once saw Papyrus on an album cover.

Forget album covers, Papyrus was used for the title of the highest-grossing movie ever.

Can you find them all? Kerning, Alignment, Justified text, Overuse of emphasis, Stereotypical Wordart styling, Comic Sans, Papyrus, Spelling, Grammar, txtspk, 1337speak, Unnecessary drop shadow, Pillow shading, Cropping, Aliasing, JPEG, GIF, and Dithering.

Fun fact: there is a room of computers at my college running a 'special' Windows Virtual Console. And by special, I mean it chooses to randomly GIF/Dither or JPEG areas of the screen, and also leaves all text aliased. Fortunately, it has not yet gained the capability to do the other things displayed above.

No, it says "(ity offi(es." The sign creator hates us twice as much.

Your mileage may vary on this one:
