Recent Nerf Now was on this topic and it may be a very good image. I picked just two panels to stay concise.

I wonder about how much it relies on the (rather small) text to work.

I can read it currently, but if it were any smaller I wouldn't. I can't think of a better picture.

Text isn't resized from the original comic and I don't think I could upsize it without it looking quite horrible.

Even if it were crystal clear, agree, it is carrying a lot of weight.

The picture is less than 350 pixels wide, so sizing is not an issue. Current size may be quite small, still. Maybe cut the first picture's text and upsize the second one's a bit?

Well, it's better than the current picture.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Maybe he means "better than no picture", a statement I agree with.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Suggestion is brilliant. Get that on the page STAT.

The text could be fixed by someone just shopping in slightly larger text in the same font.

Well, I tried searching for the font and didn't find anything matching.

WhatTheFont couldn't trace it, but someone on the forum there identified it as Digital Strip.

Okay then, let's see what I can do...

Also, { and } in that font are hilarious.

I attempted a version, but it would be good if the stuff about occult energies could be preserved. On a page the transparancy of the bottom text wouldn't be a problem.

Also, those { } signs look like cat whiskers!

[down] Looks good; keeping the original text did work after all. *votes for it*

I thought the font was Comic Sans.

No, Comic Sans doesn't have thickening at the end of strokes and isn't sloped.

Comic Sans doesn't look like this AT ALL.

Eh? That isn't the dreaded font; it's too narrow. This is comic sans text with wide kerning but normal letter width, and this is basic alphabets. One clear difference between it and Digital Strip is the D; in Comic Sans, the bowl is "pulled" downwards, while it is "pulled" upwards in Digital Strip.

I think the most obvious difference is that Comic Sans's capital 'I' has serifs.

I like Comic Sans.

Now, is it really important exactly what font it is? If it looks good, it looks good.

The suggested pic is great...my only gripe is that "video games" is one word.
