By John Zakour (writer) & Scott Roberts (artist)
Maria is a kid who sees things her own way- and expects the world to see it her own way too! Her friend Joey is more practical. He helps keep her grounded, though that’s as easy as handling a Thanksgiving balloon in a hurricane. Sue is special and she knows it- better than anyone. She’s writing her autobiography now, but she’ll live it later. Bob takes things slower. Ms. Payne is their teacher- she enjoys her job, she truly does. She’d enjoy it even more without the students.

Is it “Looks like you’re lucky” or “Looks like you got lucky”? And how did this get past proofreading?

@runar
Good catch. Apparently Scott and I need more editing…

We’re missing the word “okay” in there. I would have read this a million times and not noticed.

There’s an old perception/proofreading test that involves repeating words on either side of a line break. Some 80% of people who read the text miss the repeated (or in this case missing) word.

I find having my mac read back to me helps a lot be we can’t do that with graphics.

Funny how the mind works. I read okay.

He a word.

My mind skipped the “you’re” and read it as “Looks like you got lucky.”

Looks like Maria might be taking my advice of two days ago, to spin this into a need for her own cell phone.

The danger of always being too close to deadline.
