Chore Day, Dec 14, 2019: I Put My Name on the Cover of My Children's Picture Book

Today I moved another centimeter forward: I added my name to the cover of my children’s picture book: Doug Doukat, I thought a lot about the font and chose a comic book font named “Jack Armstrong BB”. It’s one of the default iPad fonts. The main title uses the Impact font, a brute of a font. I figure that using a comic book font lightens the mood and says,This book will be fun and serious at the same time.

As for chores, I cooked for my furry friends, and for myself. I made more plant-based cheese sauce. There’s not cheese in it, of course. It just feels and tastes something like cheese, but better. Really. It does taste better.

I obsess about fonts. I’ve been looking at the Goudy Old Style font for 8 months now and I’m thinking it’s not quite friendly enough. It feels a little too formal for this story. So, I’m going to try the Happy Monkey font, a friendly comic-style font you can find if you look do a web search. It’s just a coincidence that Jimmy is wearing a Tricky Monkey comic while reading comics while taking the Magic Moustache Bus to the Sunny South.
