Pen & Ink, “not done with you yet!”

[Zippy, March 14, 2025. Click for a larger view.]

Not nearly done.

My favorite pens are three fountains: two Kawecos and a Pelikan. My favorite ink: Aurora Black, which is insanely expensive but also insanely dark. How about you?

I like rollerball pens with thick lines. I used to buy boxes of Pentel Rolling Writers, but the manufacturing has slipped. I am trying to find a new pen. — Heber

Many years ago I was loyal to Faber-Castell Uni-Ball. I bought a couple of boxes recently (nostalgia) -- here too the quality has slipped.

Pelikan 120, medium italic nib with Mont Blanc oyster grey ink; otherwise a Rapidograph, one of the fatter ones (0.5 at the moment) with Rotring black India ink.

Ah, the 120. My dad had one when I was a kid — a source of real fascination, like all his writing and drawing supplies.
