Balloon tail widths, where they meet the balloon, should always be consistent. Here's how I do that: When I add tails (pic 1), I make sure the "fat end," where it touches the balloon, is about the same width as the letter-height of my dialogue font (pics 2&3). #lettering #comics

Out today and lettered by @blambot: DOCTOR STAR #1 (DH), and I HATE FAIRYLAND #17 (I). I want to express a personal thanks to @DarkHorseComics and editor @NotTooChaby for including the letterer in the cover credits of Doctor Star! I couldn't be happier about that.
