I caught a typo in today’s comic just as I was loading the image onto the site. At first, the woman wanted to have an “organism” instead of an “orgasm.” (On the other hand, maybe that’s funnier.)
Sigh. It’s not the worse typo I’ve ever made—or seen.
The most interesting typo I ever saw was decades ago when I was a newspaper reporter at THE BEACON HILL NEWS. A seniors lunch entree was supposed be “fried chicken.” But it appeared in that week’s edition as “fried children.”
Bon appetit! (Did I spell that right? Oh, to hell with it!)
