  Yes, Yes. It's that time of the month again. The time where all the little
  boys and girls gather 'round their computers anxiously awaiting the arrival
  of the new Fokus pack. Well, Here it is, right before your eyes, blaring in
  full technicolor. That's right. Number 5. Only 95 packs away from 100. Who
  knows what the future holds in store for us. We'll just have to wait and see.

  In the meantime, there has been some changes already occuring around us.
  Our page has finally been erected by the almighty zippy. Go check it out
  at http://www.drastic.net/fokus/. On a sadder note, the one we call grymmjack
  has decided to leave us for the fact has "no more time nor skill to be in
  a group". While the skill part may be arguable, we all know time is an
  inescapable factor that plagues all of us. We wish him the best of luck in
  future endeavors.

  The door to the "I want to join Fokus" club was left open this month,
  unfortunately, three blind nazi's with machine guns for arms mistaked it for
  a bathroom and scared all the would-be members off. Better luck next time.

  <deviant81> im doing alot of wheel reinventing.

  I have no idea what this means, but deviant asked me to quote him and i need
  to take up more space ;)


  Fokus 5 - Operation Fontland

  Even tho the new additions to Fokus were scared away by the blind nazi's,
  we do hope that they will find their way back next month.
  Hopefully some of these new talents will posses the powers of ascii
  drawing and help strengthen the ascii division of Fokus.

  * Note * The door to the "I want to join Fokus" club will be guarded 24/7
due to an FBI investigation following the blind nazi's incident.

  And actually, the quote knocturnal brought up, it did make sense.

  Oh, on a serious note: The bots are back up, and be sure to check out Zippy's
  homepage for Fokus, it's superb. Great work Zippy

  Hi, spear here. :). Id like to make an offical rant in a news letter.. just 
  because this is an ideal group to do so in. Id like to make some comments    
  about a few things that have been nagging me lately. Fonts. Fonts fonts fonts   Recently, in Gutter12, A few people who I wont name were quoted saying in  
  their own words, fonts suck, font artists are mere talentless lazy bastards  
  that cant draw pictures. Ha. Hahahaha. Sure, stereotype all you want, but 
  there have been fonts released recently that BLOW THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR COMIC
  RIPS!. And when i say comic rips, that includes the 'originals' that are     
  essentially comic rips, just not in a comic.. Sure, there are font people       that pump the same stuff out over and over, but if you're going to stereo-
  type, stereotype the entire medium. Id like to know what makes ripping a        comic, that has been done for 10 years so fucking amazing still.. We've all 
  seen better. Id like to know why a font artist gets shit for releasing       
  simular fonts, yet a pic 'artist' can rip a comic, throw the worst font in the  WORLD on it, and people call him amazing.. Talk about lazy!?!$ They think
  the above RIPPED PIECE OF ART justifies lack of TALENT for shaping letters.     The truth is, it takes more artistic talent to alter a font into what people 
  like Mr. Wrong and Fluor, and Tna can create than it does to copy a picture 
  that youve been doing for 5 years. Why? Eventually there isnt any challenge
  to ripping a comic, because you can basically draw a character out of your 
  head (original comic rips)... Sure, I may not be able to draw a picture, 
  but I bust my ASS off trying to innovate and create the 'talentless' fonts
  that I do.. Just keep that in mind the next time you rag on a fontist.
