In the comic, Cueball texts the cipher for "HELLO", and Megan responds with the cipher for "HI"

The title text deciphers to "AAAAAA A SCARY MONSTER AAAAAA!"

Bleh on my lemmy app it looked like the Y instead of C. I was like wtf is SYARY. I hadn't started doing the next part until I saw this.

I want this to become a thing in the Irregular Expressions keyboard.

In a more simplified version, you could omit the A entirely, and just write the diacritical mark, recreating an alphabet...

Sure, if you don't feel like screaming
