If I remember my fifth grade tour guide correctly, that's exactly what happened. Hancock was the first to sign the document and he signed it big because that's how big he thought everyone would sign. The cocky Hancock thing is a legend
The underline from the K is also clearly just another line! He finished the K, took the quill or whatever off the parchment, and thought, "Huh, good place for an underline. Let's just get back on in there real quick..."
you know how when you write "happy birthday" you write a big "hap" then you realize uh-oh I'm not going to have enough room and so you squish together "py birthdy" ? I think his signature was kind of like that. he was the "hap"
“Start with a BIG ASS JOHN, followed by a BIG ASS HANCOCK, and now-ohhh no… okay button gwinnett you’re gonna have to squeeze your name in there somewhere”

They never say bitch in the episodes, so when John Hancock got referred like that I laughed so hard I choked on a piece of popcorn
Thank you Noah
Guys your name is literally underlined in your own thumbnail
Actually, Hancock wrote his signature that big because he wanted King George to be able to see it without needing to put on his glasses.
He knew what he was doing.
Actually, it's Herbie Hancock😏
