Not that you in any way have to, but to me the simplest thing that gives off non-AI vibes for a comic is if the text is in a less common font, because AI comics basically always have the same font.
The fonts I use for this comic are Comic Relief bold (in Photopea), and that has been discussed too here with proof and screenshots: https://reddthat.com/comment/24099891
To be honest, it’s not my fav font. I also tried Patrick Handwritten, but it doesn’t look great at smaller sizes. Every comic font I have used, when I save as a .jpg the spacing gets weird. I’m slowly switching over to GIMP, so maybe it’s just a Photopea problem.
I could just use some random sans serif font, but I don’t like how they look, so I try to stick with fonts that at least look comic-ish.
I don’t hand letter. Never have in my whole comics career. Also, many times I change the text right before I finish. I spend more time on the writing than I do the drawing. lol
