calligraphy has a patron demon, not a patron saint
Мишки лишили шиншилл лилии, шиншиллы лишили мишек шишки
(Bears stole lily from chinchillas, chinchillas stole cone from bears)
Well, that’s why you add dots and stuff over the letters so it becomes “easy” to distinguish. Example Kurrent script:
Keming
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what makes transcribing some very olde texts REALLY fucking hard.

Is this how calligraphy looks to people who can’t read cursive?
After like 5 tries and squinting and using my finger to block lines as I went along, I managed to verify for myself that it does in fact have the proper amount of lines.
It’s not just the correct amount of lines but connections between the lines are actually there, if they should be that is, if you look closely.
Reminds me of Russian handwriting. Always funny to show foreigners.
This could’ve been one panel.
How?
