I can’t help but wonder if the invitation was mailed to “Mick” Doonesbury.

Famous newspaper correction:“Yesterday, we referred to Defective Smith of the Salem police force. We should have said Detective Smith of the Salem police farce. "

@KaffekupYou beat me to it! I have that one in an old “Readers Digest” collection of bloopers and quips by critics and such-like.

There’s a ‘net rule (almost a Natural Law) that a post to correct a typo will invariably contain a typo itself. What’s its name?

Is that date right? I thought they were planning on a July wedding.

@Jessica_DRick wanted a July wedding. JJ told her mother to ask for May and to settle for June.

What was the original date of the strip? Maybe there wasn’t enough time then for reprinting before the wedding. On the other hand, they had time to print the erratae.I’m pretty sure “erratae” is a word even though I did just make it up.
