I had the PayPal problem too, but as soon as the transaction clears, I’ll be getting the fonts.

Then my problem will be deciding when to use the “Bryan Talbot” font vs. “Digital Delivery” font (not to mention my longtime favorite non “Comic Sans” comic font, Tekton)

With such an abundance of fonts available cheaply every New Year’s Day, the holiday should be renamed “Comic Geek Thanksgiving”

New fonts just put an extra spring in your step, for reasons that you can never adequately explain.

My bank account is approximately $130 poorer, but my life is so much richer. Thanks for the reminder, Andy. I recall your mention on MBW, but the date had slipped my mind.

It appears that they may have caught on to the “Create Your Own Font Pack” loophole. Or at least, they’re not letting me take advantage of it (and yes, I have four $20.08 fonts in my cart, one of which is a Balloon Lettering font). Drat!

@KD – You’re not the only one I’ve heard from with this problem. LMK if Comicraft doesn’t resolve things. Good picks, BTW!

Ordered Treacherous, DigitalDeliveryInt, Treasure Trove, and AIsETsUFOs, but they lost my PayPal transaction, so I will have to wait for my beautiful fonts. Thanks for the tip!

Nothing there but flash that runs over and over. Too bad.

Thank you for the reminder, Mr. I. Forwarded the sale advisory to several designer friends of mine, whereupon I bought a font pack of my own.

Considering how many venues you’ve used to praise their product, ComiCraft should appoint you Evangelist For Non-Comics Fan Audiences, and throw you a CD collection for the kindess. Just sayin.’

HedgeBackwards is one of my all-time favorite fonts. Loved it in Busiek/Immonen’s SHOCKROCKETS and before than in an early 90s/late 80s SHIELD series and even in THE KILLING JOKE. (OK, those last two were actually hand-lettered, but that’s what the font is based on.)

Monlogous is excellent if you’re looking for a Tom Orzechowski-like font. Picture the classic Claremont/Byrne X-Men tales and you’ll see this font.

And I use Jeff Campbell Sketchbook for my blog banner design.

I don’t know if they’re doing it again this year, but I subscribed for two years to their Font Of The Month club and got a couple dozen great fonts out of it. I may only ever use a half dozen, but even at that it’s worth the price. It is NOT subject to this sale, though.

Thanks, Andy. I don’t know what I’ll use them for, but I just bought five really cool fonts for about $60. Happy new year. See you on the 17th.
