What a waste

So I read it all, sdrawkcab, and didn’t really enjoy it, except for the satisfaction of having done it. Why? Why?

Here’s what you do. Go to your bathroom, face the laptop into the mirror there. Bathrooms have mirror’s right?

Wow, that was hard to read.

You save image to computer then flip it.

Well, duh!!! Thanks. Why didn’t I think of that?

I learned to read upside down and backwards while in the Navy. And I didn’t work in CIC.

Easier if you have a tablet.

I’m paying for this?

Good coincidence. “Footsie with Botha”. Reminds us of when Margaret Thatcher and Reagan put Nelson Mandela on the terrorist list.

People grow old. That’s backward. People should be born old and grow young… with things getting easier and easier in life…

Yes. Exactly! Backwards!! Everything’s backwards! Mankind is getting smarter but things are getting more dangerous. That’s backwards.

Yes, I’m sorry, but I just can’t shake this feeling that the whole world is basically going… well…

The rich pay less taxes, than the poor.. The good always die young.. Jerry Falwell plays snuggle bunnies with P.W. Botha and calls Bishop Tutu nasty names..

..and millions repeatedly watch “Dick Clark’s Bloopers”. ..All of it.. Horribly, savagely backward.

Sometimes, wild.. sometimes I get the sense that everything is.. twisted.. wrong.. slightly aswkew..

..How should I put it..?“Backward.”Having run that point firmly into the ground, may I now please return my sneakers to their correct feet?

Milo missed his cue in the third frame. Sounds like Binkley wants the life of Benjamin Button.

Just hold the mirror perpendicular to the screen. Simple if you have a mirror. Or just read urfelats blog.

Can write and read in mirror. Seemed easier being left-handed.

I felt like the panels were out of order. Even after mirror-reversing the strip, I couldn’t figure out which order to read panels: top to bottom? bottom to top?

Who Cares? Just don’t read it and move on!

Its great being dyslexic. Reading it is no problem. I always said being dyslexic is a feature not a flaw.

Didn’t even bother. A waste of time.

Fun!

It is easy to copy it and flip it with any photo editor.

Polished the finger prints off my iPhone screen and held it to the screen using it as a mirror and was able to read it.

Thanks, flipped it in photoshop.

Ditto — Photoshop it — isn’t technology great — ha ha!

The saddest thing is 20+ years later and he’s more correct than ever.

Well that was fun. It took me awhile before I realized you needed to read it like a “Z”.

It’s a funny comic, but they also misplaced the first panel and put it as the second to last.

Kind of appropriate for the day we send off Jonathan Winters….

Even if this is an older strip you can’t reverse time or comics.

An amusing exercise in retraining the brain. I liked it.

Rimmer? Where’s Cat?
