Did you hear that? Did you hear that faint screaming from California of me yelling “HELVETICAAAAAAAA”? No? Okay then.

Seriously though: Oh my god. Thank god. We finally get to introduce more characters. I know to you guys this probably seems like there’s already a few characters introduced, but here’s the thing: I know how this entire story turns out. There are so many more wonderful characters that make this SO MUCH BETTER that you haven’t gotten to meet yet.

So, officially, meet Courier and Helvetica. Courier is, as she mentions, the League’s mailperson. (Get it? COURIER? It’s a pun.) Her design is fairly blocky, to reflect how I personally interpret the look of her font.

And meet Helvetica! As the Sans Serif department leader, she has adopted significantly more modern technology than noted fuddy-duddy TNR has. I know — finally a modern cellphone in this comic that bills itself as taking place in the present day!

Also, I hope this won't happen, but there's a chance next week's comic will be late! I've been feeling very sick for the past few weeks and haven't been able to maintain my buffer, so sorry about that, guys!
