how is this still a job position in comics? surely we've come lightyears ahead of needing to painstakingly handwrite all-caps sentences into little bubbles with an ink pen..
...it seems ridiculous that they'd still do that in the digital age, so assuming they HAVE gone digital, wtf is left for a letterer to do? is he just arranging pages in InDesign and throwing some textfields all over the place and inserting the copy? cant the writers just do that?

probably a union thing, i'm sure it's a bunch of old farts refusing to die.

You'd think a design forum would appreciate hand lettering as an artform...
