Yes, that’s right. The P-I’s illustrious illustrator couldn’t even be bothered to hand-draw his own script for today’s “comic.” [...]]]> http://nakedloon.com/blogs/papyrus-virus/2009/07/01/david-horsey-papyrus-lover/feed/ 3 I Heart Scott Kurtz http://nakedloon.com/blogs/papyrus-virus/2009/05/11/i-heart-scott-kurtz/ http://nakedloon.com/blogs/papyrus-virus/2009/05/11/i-heart-scott-kurtz/#comments Mon, 11 May 2009 13:51:48 +0000 Nigel Jones http://nakedloon.com/?p=3351

Scott Kurtz, the artist behind the webcomic PvP has put up a gem of a comic today. I won't spoil it by pasting a small excerpt here. You should just go and spend 10 seconds reading it yourself: PvPonline » The Font Snob

God bless you, Scott Kurtz.

After just one week and as many posts, the looming specter of impending mockery on The Papyrus Virus is already an agent for typeface improvement in the Seattle area.

Behold, Tap Plastics on 9th Ave. N near Broad Street...

Welcome to the new Naked Loon blog: The Papyrus Virus.

If you haven’t noticed any Papyrus typeface today, you probably haven’t been looking. The font covers the country and our beloved Puget Sound like a plague.

This blog will document, catalog, and attempt to stamp out via ruthless mockery the growing virus that is the Papyrus font. We'll be highlighting our own spottings of the omni-present lettering, but we are also happy to receive user submissions as well. Just send pictures to jones %at% nakedloon %dot% com

So let's jump right into the Papyrus ridicule, shall we?
