Plastic Sturgery
As a typesetter I corrected plenty of typos. This will always be my favourite.
You might have noticed some changes around here during the week – a slightly new look and some new functionality. Change isn’t always a bad thing, unless it is in your trouser pockets and your trousers happen to be in the washing machine…
Thanks to everyone that has helped out, especially Chris, from The Book of Biff, and Calan, creator of GingerDead. I urge you to check out their comics, they’re good.

Awesome! This one had me laughing out loud. The timing is perfect.
hehe. i really love this one Adam. i wondered if that was inspired by your real life.
hey, congrats on the new site! Welcome to comicpressing.
It’s nice to have a place for comments now.
You’re not wrong. The actual typo became the title ‘plastic sturgery’. The one good thing about correcting mistakes other people have made is that you get a chuckle every now and then.
Wordpress is about a billion times better than what I was using, for so many reasons - comments being my favourite. It’s always nice to chat to people - being a comic artist (technically I’m not an artist, I just draw stuff - there is a difference) can be a lonesome lot and when you start talking to your pens you either need to get out more… or stay in and allow comments, either way works.
Thanks for your help too, both of you. I owe you. You can either ask a favour in return or you can go for ‘lucky dip’ which is a random prize taken from somewhere on my desk.
oooooo lucky dip! lucky dip!!!!!
*crosses fingers and hopes for a intricately carved letter opener carved out of your extra man rib*
it better not be your book because i already ordered that two days ago
I vote lucky dip as well.
I like surprises.
you think he discovered his love of being a fish? and by correcting the typo, he lost another dream, for these things only happen by accident, and never request.
poor little gilled lad.
I once sat through a class set up by the Job Centre to help get people off benefits and after taking about 10 minutes to do the actual tasks, spent the rest of the time correcting the course paperwork. My paperwork was a mass of hand drawn commas and spelling corrections by the end.
My favourites were the section telling us to check our “spelling ad grammar” and the job description of “Widow Dresser”.
Widow dresser – how do I sign up for that?
The cheek of it, to question your uitability for employment whilst spelling everything so poorly.
You should have made them stay behing after class.
(Nice comic, BTW)
