I asked for Gabe's autograph. I got a Gabe's autograph.
It just looks that way on your comic:

I live in the Netherlands and I received my signed hale (Gabe signature) after a week or so.

Did you have to pay for it?
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;31684921]Did you have to pay for it?[/QUOTE]
Surprisingly, no. Only for the stuff I ordered from the store, the envelope that had the hale covers I did not have to pay for.

And who did you email? Gabe himself?

Well, I mean why would someone write "Hale" if a lot of people ask the signature not because they play TF2 but because they respect Gabe, why sending them a fictional guy's signature? The reason people think it's "Hale" is because it's on a such print, which is probably not selling well and is pretty cheap, that's why he's writing an autograph on it imho.

A cursive b has a hook on the end

I never learned it, and I only know my name. But there's no line connecting the E like that.

Hale is a fictional character anyways, he doesn't have a signature. Don't be a silly second grader!

You could say everyone learned that now, but not a decade later. There is still nothing funny with the fact that somehow a nation-wide standard was adapted to not "require" public schools educating the next generation on how to write signatures. I may be wrong, but I thought forgers have it easier, just copying typed stuff instead.
I just thought of something, is there a Ga[u]l[/u]e Newell? B or not, that demonstration of it seems too much like an L to me. I thought I learned it with the hook going a little bit further to the left.
I was forced to learn cursive in third through fifth grade. I hated learning it. I never used it in middle school. I started to use it in high school. I now write everything in cursive. I love it.

I was forced into learning cursive in like 3rd grade. They told us we would use it for the rest of our lives. I still write in cursive and my hand writing is awful. I can barely write in non-cursive anymore now as well..
Fuck you 3rd grade teacher.

I had to learn it in 3rd grade, then used it a year and no one could read it, stopped using it and forgot how. Use it the rest of our lives my ass.
Gabe answered to me!

Do I regret the crude drawing of Robin with a longer, feminine wig and huge tower of glowing hats I sent? No, I want him to sign it.
Do I regret not taking the DISCS out of their CASES before sending to them? More than anything.
I am SO dumb.
