I’m with you, zibble. I worked as a proofreader years ago. Once you learn to see, you can never unsee.

Yes. Especially since there’s room for the full word on the second line.

I was a picky English teacher once. But “ov-erdo” went right past me without notice. Maybe Garry (or someone) lined up the words that way so that the letters would be arranged purty. Never mind the loused-up syllable division. I’m not telling y’all to never mind it. I’m saying that the letterist (?) never-minded it.

I can’t believe there are still people that don’t know that these are all repeats and have been for months now. Is this your first time reading? If that’s the case, it’s STILL a repeat, you just haven’t seen it yet!

Isn’t that a zinger to warn someone not to try and keep up in the presence of a brilliant person.

I agree with you Susan, and I love the way Toggle goofs on Alex.

I am aware this is a rerun, was only noting the date.

Toggle is a delight, whether they are repeats or not.

What Alex are you talking about? Doonesbury’s daughter who went to MIT? Leo may have lived in a trailer with his mother but “trailer trash” is just rude. Maybe it takes one to know one?
