Quick Thoughts on 52 #33

A couple of unavoidably snarky thoughts concerning today’s 52 #33. In my defense, both of these errors were pretty glaring (at least to me), particularly the first one with all the medical charts Luthor was looking at.
| DC letterers, you really need to look into Lorem Ipsum. It’s a nonsense text placeholder that at least looks realistic, and doesn’t look like someone was just typing random keys on the second row of the keyboard. Seriously, it’s extremely easy to use — here’s a website that randomly generates lorem ipsum text for you (and here’s the Wikipedia entry on Lorem Ipsum).
(And this is another one of the reasons I don’t like computer lettering as well as hand lettering — fake text just looks too fake.) |

You’d think a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist would be able to tell mistletoe from holly. Here’s a hint:
OK, those don’t look that much like holly berries, but it’s still a lot closer to holly than mistletoe. |

It’s clearly Kryptonian Mistletoe!

Right on with the text. I am going to name my next child Lorem Ipsum.
But… only an angry divorcee or spinster would point out it is not Mistletoe. At least she didn’t say something like, “Clark! You should of went to Jared.”
Cheers,

Check that on my previous post. A woman would not care about the flora but whether there was some ice in the other hand.
Great site,

There’s been so much fake text in 52, I think they’re going to mention it in-story at some point, either as a joke or as a shocking plot twist.
