      I just recently learned that this is the historical reason why eyes have dots.

      minimum

      Also actual gothic script provides tiny clues, ligatures, that make it slightly easier to read.

          That’s not really how people wrote, that’s still made to confuse the reader.

          here’s an example

            Noone would have written like that. That is a printing typeface. Handwritten fraktur is very different. Anyway the writing in OPs picture is medieval, while the printing typeface is obviously early modern, 17th-19th cenutry.

              I know, but it’s hard to find a good example with exactly that text. And I have no clue where I’ve hidden my calligraphy stuff. At least it doesn’t contain a lowercase s, so it should be somewhat fine.

  • The comic must be a complete story.
  • If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
  • You may post comics from others or your own.
  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
  • Politeness.
