“Soda has bad handwriting!” “Dally has bad handwriting!” “Two-bit has bad handwriting!” YOU DUMBA—
no, but realistically, this is the 1960s where people wrote in cursive regularly. It was standardized and like the print of today! Kids were taught cursive from 3rd grade. And expected to use it as the normal for most of their schoolwork and/or business/personal things.
This is back when there was a penmanship class too! (How good your handwriting looks) so they’d all have lots of time to learn good cursive. Yeah, teachers back then actually gave a damn about how legible (readable) your handwriting was. (Half joke)
Typing and print only became more regular after the 1960s and into the 1970s. When typewriters first started happening, around Tex’s time. (Remember when he made the typing keys explode? Yeah good times 🥰)
So the Curtis gangs print might be bad, but that’s because they never practice it. (Same as some of us never practice cursive.) but their regular handwriting? That is completely in cursive and it’s looking beautiful. ✨
have a nice day/night! 👋
