This is such a cool concept! I can only imagine how tricky it must be to get something like this to work, there must have been a lot of planning and constantly flipping pages!

That’s just it! I’ve never seen a good explanation other than vague hand-wavy “well, it’s meant to signal inclusiveness”

That’s why it drives me nuts! It makes no sense!

You can’t fool me, that first one is a rabbit

Best appreciated at a distance

I have a volume of an indie comic that includes an entire extra comic page slipped in, in which the characters explain a printing mix-up in the book, which I think is pretty neat

(The appropriately titled “Smashed Up Things” by Russell Mark Olson)

Yeah, that’s my reading, especially since it goes on to talk about “civil strife” and “healing the rift”

The holiday was pretty specifically declared as a response to the war at this point

Isn’t he talking about the Civil War here?

Nobody has been saying “you shouldn’t use it,” is the point. You can! If you want! And other people can laugh at it if they want!

I mentioned a solid alternative that you could ALSO use. If you want.

I dont know why you’re so hot and bothered by this supremely petty topic. I’m going to have pie.
