BETTER LETTERER batch 3! And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

so I had 3 months to make this comics thing work. When I gave my notice, the president of the company literally told me I'd never make it on my own, and I'd come crawling back to him.

Now I'm my own boss, making far more money, and I get paid to make comics books all day. He can go fuck himself.

This is a very small SFX, so a little extra heft to the outline helps.
