:Agreed, but I have my own thoughts. First, about his signature: Despite being copied poorly from a second-grade Palmer cursive manual (loops on capital letters and all), he's particularly obsessed with it. With the notable exceptions of the trailing "n" and the extra-large "lowercase l" loop (that's gotta mean something, right?), he puts no personal touch on this signature (unless you count his crude Sonichu head or his shaky grip as "personal touch"). This is probably indicative of plagiarist tendencies: Why put any effort into something when you can pass off someone else's crap (in this case, lettering) as your own? Also, I think the "downtrodden first name" thing was just a fluke. Take a look at ALL the examples of his John Hancock scrawled all over his work - particularly his [[Rule 34|pr0nz]]. (Note that they are always disproportionately large, unsubtly suggesting [[ego|self-obsession]].) [[CWC - Hand Drawn Original|This video]] shows him putting the signature on paper. Note that it takes a long time for him to sign as he meticulously plots out each letter. I've got a feeling that Chris hasn't had a need to sign checks and legal documents frequently. | :Agreed, but I have my own thoughts.

A very interesting analysis of Chris's handwriting. Thanks, I enjoyed reading it! --Ronichu 20:30, 2 August 2010 (PDT)
- Agreed, but I have my own thoughts. First, about his signature: Despite being copied poorly from a second-grade Palmer cursive manual (loops on capital letters and all), he's particularly obsessed with it. With the notable exceptions of the trailing "n" and the extra-large "lowercase l" loop (that's gotta mean something, right?), he puts no personal touch on this signature (unless you count his crude Sonichu head or his shaky grip as "personal touch"). This is probably indicative of plagiarist tendencies: Why put any effort into something when you can pass off someone else's crap (in this case, lettering) as your own? Also, I think the "downtrodden first name" thing was just a fluke. Take a look at ALL the examples of his John Hancock scrawled all over his work - particularly his pr0nz. (Note that they are always disproportionately large, unsubtly suggesting self-obsession.) This video shows him putting the signature on paper. Note that it takes a long time for him to sign as he meticulously plots out each letter. I've got a feeling that Chris hasn't had a need to sign checks and legal documents frequently.
- Here is an example from the comics. I know, Chris's pathetic attempt at comic lettering (in ALLCAPS no less) is not representative of his general handwriting. But here's another. More ALLCAPS, but at least we see his signature again. And yet another. That signature again. Hopefully you'll get to see more revelations from a larger sample. --SeventhBase 22:35, 2 August 2010 (PDT)
