Description
This example is one of Aesop's Fables. The story is "The kid and the wolf". The full story and original image are from "Aesop for Children" (1919), a public domain translated version of Aesop's Fables.

The Dscript symbols were designed for space compression. Each word has many possible word forms. I made very little effort to add any logographic elements to the glyphs. The pen was rather thick, it is a brush pen. I like the brush pen because it allows a smother draw and scans in better, but the lines are a little thick.

THE KID AND THE WOLF

A frisky young Kid had been left by the herdsman on the thatched roof of a sheep shelter to keep him out of harm's way. The Kid was browsing near the edge of the roof, when he spied a Wolf and began to jeer at him, making faces and abusing him to his heart's content.

"I hear you," said the Wolf, "and I haven't the least grudge against you for what you say or do. When you are up there it is the roof that's talking, not you."

Do not say anything at any time that you would not say at all times.

Dscript, or Dimensional Script, is a 2d writing system. There are several approaches to 2D writing systems, Dscript is al alphabetical 2d writing system.

A 2D alphabetical writing system allows the "strings of letters" to branch, this is achieved by "forking" of the string or by placing letters inside of each others. When a reader approaches a "fork in the road" when reading a 2D script, he much choose a path to read first. Dscript reading rules are flexible, but I normally use top -> bottom, left -> right, Outside -> inside, shortest side chain to longest side chain ( this means when a fork is reached, first the shorter branch is read, then the reader proceeds to continue down the longer ).

There are plenty of materials and resources available to help learn Dscript.

Just google for "Dscript"
