Mr.Card after receving your signature in Philly ive had two questions.
One. When you signed my book you wrote "Only a few more baby steps." And im just wondering is are these signatures premetiated or do you think of them as you see them(it is pretty obvious that you do mabye write a list but im just wondering)
Two. You have the coolest signature, but how long till you mastered writing it.
Merci Messiour Card.

I have predetermined tag lines for all my books. For some books I have multiple ones. This allows me to sign books for several individuals in one group with different tag lines.

But sometimes I make up a new tag line because I look down at the paper and realize that I have just put down a letter that does not belong in the intended tag line. I am quite certain this is what happened in your case. I put down an O. Then I had to think of something to say that vaguely had to do with "Giant" ... and started with O.

It's not all art, and it's not all smart. Sometimes it's random, and sometimes it's desperation.
