Love Calls You by your Name, pt. 16

So eighty people saw today’s strip between midnight and 10:00 CST, and no one bothered to shoot me a note letting me know I spelled “dogs” wrong?

Some friends! Yeesh!

I know that typos and misspellings are par for the course for the rest of the internet, but not here. I hold myself to a higher standard. My parents didn’t send me to college to become illiterate. They sent me there to do drugs.

Actually, it’s due to so many _other_ webtoonists being so amazingly pissy about having people correct their spelling. In fairness, I can see their point; this is something done for enjoyment (yours/theirs and ours), and nit-picking can get frustrating. (Despite the overtly simian theme here…)

Cheers!

Guess I’ve just never seen it as nit-picking. I would think everyone would want to put the best possible face on their work, and having an error lingering permanently in the archives would be something I would definitely want to correct.
