<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Congratulations to Todd Klein on winning his nth
Eisner Award for Best Lettering !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(They'll just have to rename this award the Klein
Award at some point, and elt others have a chance to get it)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sorry Gemstone didn't get one this
year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A silly question to Todd Klein: is your Disney
lettering style the closest one to your natural handwriting, or is it just as
different as the fancier ones? (being "simple" doesn't mean it's just your plain
handwriting style-- or does it?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How long does it take to letter a Rosa ten-pager or
adventure?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And something I've wanted to ask you for a while:
how is all this lettering done, anyway? How much is handmade, how much
computer-assisted (designed by hand, then on computer, for easier duplication--
I suppose)? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All the best,</FONT></DIV>
