His sig is in Comic-Sans font? On purpose?

This is veritable copperplate compared to some doctors’ signatures I’ve seen…

Eh, I think it’s fine. Better than just an X anyway. Are we sure he’s not just trying to get his pen to work? As an odd side note, he’s doing clockwise loops. When I try and do that it seems unnatural. Counter-clockwise loops seem right and are what I do if I’m not concentrating.

When asked for a response to criticism of his signature, Mr. Lew replied “Goo … gooo!”

That is perfect signature for Obama’s Secretary of the Treasury. By the time they get finished, that will be the number of zeros needed to be added to a dollar to buy a loaf of bread.

My cursive writing was always horrible (in 5th grade I got an E in handwriting; E = failing work but it’s the best you can do), so it should shock no one that my signature has been a semi-random illegible scrawl for decades now. It still (usually) looks better than Lew’s, though.

Well .. the goal, Gator, is for it to be identifiable *and* unique .. hard for someone else to do on the fly.
.
Mine qualifies – the first letter is recognizable, the rest goes quite wrong…
.
Makes it *very* easy to see where someone else has signed things for me, eh?

… not that the pfy behind the counter actually *checks* my signature very often …

mine became illsgible when I had a job where I signed for things all the time. Switching to a scribble saved me precious seconds.

I have never understood this “illegible signature” …thing people have. I sign my signature very legible and one time someone commented that I had an odd signature. I asked them how so. He showed me his signature and with a few stocks, gave me something that look like a elektrokardiogramm.

My signature is a tad illegible as well, so I shall not judge.
