And now, a short word from our sponsor



Call me insensitive, but I’m getting a little tired of homeless people holding up signs featuring non-traditional fonts. I’m not asking for Edwardian Script or Trebuchet, but it would be nice, at least once in a while, to see something besides Chiller, Comic Sans and Freestyle. Just once I’d like to see a nice Arial or even Helvetica… but, I suppose those are too much to ask from a red crayon.

Of course he can spell! The dude's a writer! He's one of us starving artists!

I look for originality in a sign.

I'm just impressed that he was smart enough to put the important part in all caps!
