No, I draw the vertical line for the 'i' from top to bottom, then zip up to put a dot on top, and if the pen leaves the paper during that zip, good, if not, oh well. Usually I manage lift off, and sometimes, depending on the word, I don't dot i's until the word is completely anyway.

I knew it, I just *knew* it -- when those terribly romantic words "scribble" and "cutesy" cropped up, someone would *HAVE* to bring in the SWWBP business :-)

Interesting tidbit #437: Waitresses who draw happy faces on their customers' meal bills receive higher tips; waitors who try the same trick get downchecked instead. So there's an excellent case for Dave sticking to a "manly" kind of writing all the time (whatever *that* is, Speedball).
