EADJ Doesn't Do This Bit Anymore.

(pictured above, me and two other blobs of unfried dough. And Curlz MT.)

BONUS: According to Wikipedia, in Canada, pieces of fried dough are sometimes called "Beaver Tails."

Let's Borrow the EADJ Mail Sack's Car and Return It Without Filling the Tank Back Up!

(submitted by Jessica Holcomb, a great shot of Curlz MT, a bit that EADJ no longer does)

Damn, I Missed the Previous Three.

Okay, I know EADJ doesn't do this Curlz MT bit anymore, but this flyer for the Fourth Annual Mental Health Film Festival had some other stuff going on besides that typeface, so try to ignore that...

• Two bucks sez the movie with the Agoraphobic Mom has a line like, "Take it easy, Mom!"
• "Working Like Crazy" wasn't the first choice for the filmmakers of a movie about mental health in the workplace; "Clocking In-SANE," "Obsessive Compulsive Disorderlies," and "Wack Job" were other contenders.
• Those stray stars bug me– they're kind of driving me nuts.

Let's Gamble the EADJ Mail Sack's Life Savings Away on Keno!

Actual phone conversation had by me and sander earlier today…

Me: we’re eating in the Kriv

Sander: you’re eating the Kriv? like, the Curlz sign?

Me: yeah.

Me: …

Me: i wonder what Curlz MT tastes like.


Sadly, we cannot accept this entry, either.

End of the Year Closeout.

EADJ officially retires one of its bits to make room for newer, stupider ones.


Goodbye, you miserable middle-aged wretch!


Goodbye, you unlikeable, non-social person who's way too into dogs or cats!


Goodbye, failed art teacher with cutesy, "thoughtful" sayings slapped on the bumper of your '94 Volkswagen Beetle!


In other words, fuck off, Curlz!

A Terrible Day For Typography.

The following account is true.

What started out as a pleasant Sunday turned into a constant onslaught of offensive typefacery. I had been to L.A. and New York in the last month and hadn't seen so much as a curlzy comma. But in one day in Chicago, I done seen my share fo' the rest of my life, child.
