This literally gave me a headache to read. I assume they made the article look like a 6 year old drew/wrote it because they thought it wouldn't be long enough (page-wise) without 10000pt font?
I wish there were a day to send feedback to the NYT saying "please do not do this again".
- code_duck 8y agoIt reminds me of the style of a popular cartoonist/author who contributes to the New Yorker.

- pacoWebConsult 8y agoReading bubbly, squiggly cursive writing on a white background when nearly everything I use is black basically did give me a headache. Its an accessibility nightmare too.

- darkpuma 8y agoTo be fair, it's pretty bad handwriting. Perhaps deliberately so? And is switching between cursive and print in the middle of sentences meant to be stylistic? My handwriting is terrible too so maybe I shouldn't complain, but that's why I type.
- nkrisc 8y agoThis handwriting, in this case, yes. I found it very challenging and straining to read.
- untog 8y ago> This literally gave me a headache to read You may want to see a doctor. At the bottom of the article it states: > Wendy MacNaughton is a graphic journalist based in San Francisco. > Meanwhile: Wendy MacNaughton’s illustrated column about the big implications of seemingly small things. So, the illustration and the words together are kind of the point (and they don't look like a 6 year old drew them, come on). There's even an interview with her here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/18/reader-center/business-section-redesign-meanwhile.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/18/reader-center/business-se... In any case, newspapers have always had comics. I don't really see how this is all that different.
