Why did I type dropcaps? Drop shadows, even worse.

And I'm using it as a typographical reference to cartooning noise-balloons. I'll post a PDF in a bit.

It's cool. Drop caps were a fun feature to work on (though the layout was really fiddly, partly due to fonts with weird metrics), plus the now-celeb chrisjo PMd it, and he was a pretty good PM.
